Nude Walking
1920s

A sketch of a standing nude male figure in profile on a textured gray background. The figure appears to be in motion, with one arm extended forward and the other back, while one leg is positioned in front of the other as if mid-step. The artwork captures the anatomy and musculature with detailed shading and line work.
