Study for Ground Swell
1939

A sketch on tan paper depicting a figure lying face down with their legs extended straight behind them and their arms bent at the elbows. The drawing is rendered with loose, expressive lines, and the figure appears to be in a relaxed or resting pose. The background is blank, emphasizing the solitary subject.
