Seated Nude
1939

Pencil drawing of a seated nude female figure with her left knee raised and her arms resting on her knee and thigh. The figure has long flowing hair and a contemplative expression. The artwork is rendered in shades of black and white, emphasizing light and shadow to create a three-dimensional effect. There are signatures and inscriptions at the bottom of the print.
