Artist, Austrian, 1877 - 1959

This is a drawing of a person reclining on a bed. The drawing is done in pencil and depicts a simple interior scene. The composition reveals a loosely sketched room, with a bed taking center stage against the backdrop of walls and a window. Lines and shading are used sparingly to suggest the presence of different objects and textures, such as the floor or the bedding. The overall impression is one of quietness, captured with quick, expressive strokes that convey movement and form rather than detailed realism.
