A green chalk figure drawing of a standing figure in motion — one arm raised and extending to the right, the body slightly turned, the posture one of reaching or gesturing. This is the most dynamic of the green chalk figures: where 1014 showed a still seated pose, this captures a moment of active bodily engagement.
The raised arm is the composition's most striking element — it extends from the shoulder to well above the head, the gesture both natural and formally decisive. The body below turns away from the viewer, the back and the profile together describing the figure's relationship to the action it is performing.
The green chalk is applied with particular confidence here — the contour marks single and definite, each one following the form's edge without hesitation. The line from hip to foot on the right side is the most sustained mark: one continuous arc describing the leg from hip to heel.
At the lower portion, the feet are suggested rather than described — the two feet barely present, the drawing concentrating its attention in the raised arm and the body's active upper zone.
This green chalk drawing in motion, together with the seated green chalk figure (1014), forms the most complete record of the green chalk figure practice in the collection. Two poses, two attitudes — stillness and movement — both rendered in the medium that gives the body its most botanical, its most alive quality.
