Copy after Michelangelo's Tomb of Giuliano de'Medici: Detail of Day
1926

Pencil sketch of a reclining male figure, viewed from the side, with emphasis on the musculature and form of the back and legs. The figure's face is obscured, and the drawing includes details such as the folds of the fabric and the contour of the calf muscle. There's a circular mark near the center of the paper, and the sketch appears to be dated at the bottom right corner.
