(Female Nude Standing on One Leg, Profile View)
1920–1925

A sketch of a standing female figure viewed from behind, with her left leg raised and bent at the knee, and her arms extended slightly to her sides. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right. The drawing is done in a realistic style with attention to the play of light and shadow on the body, and is presented on aged paper with some smudges and marks around the edges.
