Sleeping Child
1946

A pencil drawing of a reclining figure lying on their side with knees bent and one arm resting under their head. The artwork is detailed, with realistic shading and texture, capturing the play of light and shadow on the figure's form. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner. The drawing is mounted on a white background with a piece of tape in the upper left corner.
