Associated Names
Everett Shinn

Artist, American, 1873 - 1953

The drawing depicts a person lying face down on their right side, with the right arm bent and supporting the head, and the left arm extended forward along the ground. The person's face is turned slightly downward, obscuring most facial features, but the head is tilted to show dark, short hair or tied back hair. The figure is unclothed, and there are no other objects or jewelry present. The background is plain with uniform shading, and the medium seems to be charcoal or pencil on beige paper. The artist's signature, Everett Shinn, along with the year 1910, is located in the lower right corner.
