Emil Ganso

(Reclining Figure)
1930

A pencil sketch of a reclining woman resting on her back with her hands behind her head on a pillow, wearing a frilly dress with her legs slightly bent and crossed at the ankles. The artist's strokes are soft and expressive, capturing the relaxed pose and serene expression on the woman's face. There is a signature at the bottom right corner of the drawing.
