Artist, German, 1881 - 1919

The image is a partial sketch of a nude figure, depicting the body from the top of the head down to the thighs. The person's position is mostly upright, with one arm bent at the elbow and the hand placed on the hip, while the other arm, though partially visible, is positioned downward and to the side. The facial features are not defined, and there is also no hair detail visible in the sketch. There is no clothing present as the figure is rendered in a nude study, and the focus is on the contours and shading of the body. The background is a plain, light color.
