Nude on the Floor
1931

An etching of a reclining nude male figure, possibly representing a classical or mythological scene. The figure is lying on a draped surface with his head turned to one side and his arms relaxed. The artwork is detailed with strong contrasts of light and shadow, emphasizing the musculature and form of the body. The print is mounted on a larger sheet of paper with inscriptions at the bottom.
