Nude, arms raised and Torso Study
1920s

A sketch on gray paper featuring a standing nude female figure with her arms raised and hands clasping above her head. To her right, a smaller, less detailed sketch of a similar pose. The drawing exhibits a rough, expressive style with visible strokes and shading. The paper has rough edges and is marked with a catalog number at the bottom left corner.
