Edward Hopper

(Standing Female Nude with Arms Behind Head)
1920–1925

A sanguine drawing on paper depicting a standing female nude figure with her right arm raised and bent at the elbow, covering her face, and her left arm hanging by her side. The figure's pose suggests movement or stretching, and the drawing captures the play of muscles and the natural curves of the body. The background is plain, emphasizing the subject.
