Study for Morning Sun
1952

Sketch on tan paper featuring two panels with a woman by a window. The upper panel shows the woman from behind, sitting on a bed, looking out the window. The lower panel depicts the woman in profile, sitting on the floor with her arm resting on the windowsill, gazing outside. The drawings are rough and gestural with expressive lines.
