Artist, German, 1884 - 1950

The image depicts a woman lying down on a reclining surface, likely a bed or a couch. She is positioned sideways, with her head resting on a pillow, facing the viewer. Her legs are slightly bent. She has defined facial features, curly hair, and a calm expression. The woman is wearing stockings, a skirt, and a strapless top, along with a necklace. She has her hands clasped over her midsection. The background outlines furniture or possibly windows with vague vertical and horizontal lines, suggesting an indoor room setting. A handwritten ink note is visible on the top right of the paper.
