Bill Brandt

Artist, British, born Germany, 1904 - 1983

The image displays a person's naked legs intertwined and an arm crossing over a part of their face. The person is lying down on their side in a curled position, with their legs and arms partially covering their face. Their facial features are obscured by their arm, but they have light-colored, short and wavy hair. The skin tone is very light, creating high contrast in the black and white image. A thin strap, possibly from undergarments, is visible running diagonally across the hips. The background consists of a neutral, light-toned wall and bedding. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects in the image.
