A large green chalk figure drawing of exceptional compositional interest — a standing figure seen from behind, one arm extended to grasp a vertical element at the right (a door, a pole, or a standing bar), the body slightly turned so the arm's reach creates a strong horizontal accent crossing the composition. This is the most actively engaged pose in the green chalk series, the figure in the midst of action rather than simply standing or sitting.
The figure is described from crown to feet — the most complete green chalk figure study, the full body visible with all its zones. The head at the upper left is turned away; the extended arm at the right reaches across the composition to grasp the vertical element. Between these two poles the body's full extent is described.
The studio prop at the right — a vertical bar, the edge of a door, or a standing pole — is specifically described: its rectangular section, the horizontal bars crossing it, the model's hand gripping it. This contextual element grounds the figure in a specific physical situation.
The green chalk on white paper creates the characteristic botanical quality — the figure exists in a space associated with living, growing things. The dynamic reaching pose within this medium gives the work an energy that the other green chalk studies don't achieve.
