Edward Hopper

(Standing Female Nude)
1920–1925

A detailed red chalk drawing on aged paper depicting a standing female nude figure with her left hand resting on her thigh and her right hand holding her breast. The figure has a relaxed posture with a slight twist to her body, and her head is turned to her left with her gaze directed downward. The drawing shows expressive line work and shading, highlighting the contours and musculature of the figure. There are signs of wear and age on the paper, with some creases and discoloration.
