A large blue pencil figure drawing with studio furniture — the model seated on a model stand, the head bent forward and down, the body in a posture of deep absorption or rest. The model stand is described with geometric clarity at the right: its rectangular sides, the horizontal top surface, the supporting structure below. The figure perches on the left edge of this stand, the legs hanging down.
The head-down posture gives the composition its emotional quality: this figure has turned entirely inward, the face hidden, the body's posture expressing retreat from the external world. The hair falls forward around the bent head, adding to its concealment.
Both feet hang below the stand, the toes described with the characteristic Cothran attention — both feet visible, the weight distributed, the ankles showing the tension of hanging rather than standing.
The blue pencil on the warm cream-yellow paper gives the drawing an amber warmth that the cooler white papers don't provide. This figure, curled and inward on its geometric stand, has the quality of a person finding shelter in the midst of exposure.
