Description

This drawing, reduced to the essentials, unfolds a remarkable dynamic through the open posture of the depicted figure. The artist has chosen a position characterised by symmetry and movement. With outstretched arms and bent knees, the body seems to convey a message - perhaps openness, perhaps balance. The lines are clear and deliberate, without unnecessary detail, giving the work a raw, honest quality. The light shading emphasises the tension of the muscles and lends depth to the nude without detracting from the lightness of the composition.
