A full-length standing figure in left profile, drawn in a brighter, more orange-toned sanguine chalk against a slightly warmer white ground. The model stands in a slight forward lean, the weight carried on the left leg, the right knee bending back in a relaxed contrapposto. The face — the most fully described in the 12.5"×19" series so far — shows a clean left-facing profile: the brow, nose, and lips each stated, the chin below. The hair is pulled back into a rounded bun or high ponytail at the crown, with a loose section falling behind the ear to the shoulder.
The sanguine here reads warmer and more orange than the cooler red of Work 1405 — likely a different chalk stick, or the same chalk applied with more pressure against the paper's grain. The line is confident and quick, the outer contour of the body described from hairline to toe in one sustained gesture with occasional interior notes: the breast at upper left, the hand at the waist with fingers briefly indicated, the elbow's bend. The right foot barely touches the ground — the toes only, the heel raised — suggesting a model who has slightly shifted her weight mid-pose.
The right hand, extending away from the hip at waist level with the fingers partially spread, is the drawing's most specific detail — a gesture that reads as reaching or steadying, the body in mild motion. This is the first drawing in the new portfolio that shows the face in profile, after the concealed faces of 1403 and 1405. The ponytail — the rounded globe at the crown with the loose section falling — is a hair type that recurs across the figure drawings (Works 1010, 1075, 1095) and functions here as both identifying mark and compositional device, extending the head's silhouette.
Against the preceding works' self-enclosure, this figure reads as more open and present — the face visible, the hand extended, the posture forward-leaning. The slight upward tilt of the chin in profile gives the figure a quality of attending to something beyond the frame, a directedness the earlier bowed and clasped figures lacked. The 12.5"×19" format continues to shape the figure's relationship to the paper, the full body length occupying nearly the entire vertical field.
