A large horizontal pencil figure drawing of a compressed reclining figure — the body curled with the knees up, the face at the upper right looking downward, and most importantly: the hand at the upper center specifically drawn, the fingers resting on or near the knee. This is another drawing in which the hand is singled out for specific attention within an otherwise economically described figure.
The face at the upper right is described with tonal confidence: the brow and eye socket, the three-quarter view showing the profile edge, the expression one of inward attention. The body below the face curves through the composition — the shoulder, the torso, the hip, the raised knee.
The hand at the upper center is the drawing's most deliberate moment: the fingers individually described, the hand in a position of gentle contact or rest. The body's curve brings the hand naturally to the center of the composition, where it receives the most sustained attention.
The feet at the lower left extend from the curled body, both feet visible with the characteristic toe description.
