17.5"x22.75" A poised study of balance — limbs folded, weight settled, and lines that quietly define the pose. A confident sanguine (red-chalk) sketch on toned paper that emphasizes gesture and contour. The artist uses economical, flowing strokes to build form and weight, focusing on the interplay of negative space and the relaxed tension where the legs cross — an excellent life-drawing study of posture and proportion.
