Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The sketch depicts a nude figure shown in profile, standing upright and slightly leaning sideways with their right arm resting upwards. The individual's facial features are lightly sketched, with the head turned slightly to the side. The person's hair is styled short and curls near the head. There is no visible clothing, jewelry, or objects being held. The background consists of sketchy lines and shading, creating a textured appearance that suggests an outdoor setting or a shadowy interior space, with a dark area implying vegetation or natural surroundings on the left side.
