Dancing Egyptian
1895–1899

A sketch of a figure titled "Dancing Egyptian," drawn in red ink on a cream-colored paper. The figure appears to be in motion, with dynamic, swirling lines suggesting movement around the body. To the left, there is a small, loosely drawn face with a humorous expression. The drawing has an energetic and spontaneous quality.
