Two Figures
1929

A sketch on aged paper depicting a standing nude female figure with long hair, facing forward, and a second, clothed female figure behind her, placing a hand on the first figure's head. The drawing is done in a minimalist style with soft lines and shading, and the background is left mostly blank. There are visible fold marks and slight discolorations on the paper, suggesting age.
