Liggend naakt, het hoofd bij een steen

A full-length figure study of a reclining nude, executed in red chalk on toned paper. The pose is dynamic, with the figure supporting their head with one arm, creating a strong diagonal line across the composition. The figure is positioned diagonally, leading the viewer's eye from the upper left to the lower right. The background is minimal, focusing all attention on the figure's form and musculature.

The drawing utilizes red chalk (sanguine) on a light, toned paper. The technique is highly academic, emphasizing anatomical accuracy and classical idealized form. The hatching and smudging provide soft transitions and volume, characteristic of preparatory life studies or academic figure drawing.
