Untitled
c. 1930s

A sketch of a human arm in blue pencil, showing the arm from the forearm to the fist, which is raised and clenched. The drawing is detailed, with emphasis on the muscles and folds of the skin, and it's displayed on a cream-colored background. The arm appears to be emerging from a cylindrical base, suggesting a study for a sculpture or an anatomical illustration.
