Artist, French, 1882 - 1935

The image is a line drawing of a person in motion. The person is depicted in a dynamic pose, with one leg slightly bent and the other extended, both arms raised, and hands open with fingers splayed. The face has minimal features, with a prominent nose and a calm expression, and the hair is represented by simple lines in a wave-like shape. The person is drawn nude, emphasizing the body's form with bold, continuous lines. There are no visible accessories, and the background is plain. The artist's signature, "Grosz," is seen in the lower right corner.
