The image shows a person in a reclining position, with their entire body depicted from head to toe on a soft surface. The figure's head is resting on one arm, while the other arm is behind the head. The facial features are simple, with closed eyes, a small nose, and a slightly open mouth. The hair is short and styled close to the head. The person wears a detailed outfit resembling a floral-patterned dress with a ruffled skirt and flower adornments around the waist. The legs are crossed at the ankles, covered by opaque stockings, and the feet are pointed. The sketch suggests some form of decoration or jewelry on the neck. The composition is against a plain background.

The image shows a woman reclining on a surface with her back slightly arched, legs crossed, one arm bent with her hand under her head. She has softly rendered eyes and lips, dark short hair framing her face. She is wearing a patterned dress or leotard with floral motifs and a voluminous skirt. The background is sketchy with textured shading, matching the soft-pencil, monochromatic style of the sketch.

This print depicts a person lying on their back with their arms behind their head, one leg crossed over their body. They are wearing a patterned top and ruffled tutu that is slightly folded over due to their position. They look upward, and their face shows a neutral expression. They have short, dark, styled hair, and appear to have a thin necklace around their neck. The background of the print is plain tan paper.
