Artist, Norwegian, 1863 - 1944

The image shows a full-length depiction of a human figure drawn in red, standing upright with feet close together and arms hanging by their sides. The figure's facial features are minimally detailed, with a simplistic representation of the face and short hair. The figure is drawn without clothing. Beside the standing figure, there is a darker, green-toned sketch of another figure in a horizontal position, with arms and legs stretched out. This secondary figure is more abstract, with less distinction in features. The background is a plain, light beige.
