Nude Study

William P. Babcock

National Gallery of Art

There is a drawing of a seated individual facing left with a slightly tilted head, one knee bent upwards. The upper body and arms of the figure are visible, with a profile face showing delicate features and hair styled back neatly. The person is minimally draped with loose fabric around the lower body, and the torso and arms are bare. In the background, there are faint outlines of an abstract form at the top left and a sketch of a hand at the right, with the rest of the backdrop mostly plain.
