A sanguine drawing on paper depicting a standing female figure in a contrapposto pose with one hand raised to her head. The sketch is detailed, capturing the nuances of human anatomy and muscle structure, with a focus on the natural curves and posture of the body. The background is blank, emphasizing the figure.
