Nude (Front View)
1925, printed 1988

A black and white print depicting a stylized female figure holding a stringed instrument, possibly a cello or violin, close to her body. The artwork has a minimalist aesthetic with expressive line work, and there are signatures or inscriptions at the bottom. The paper has a rough edge on the left side, suggesting it may be a fine art print or etching.
