Descripció de la imatge
The artwork portrays a nude woman viewed from the side and slightly from behind, as she stands next to a bathtub. She is bending forward, using a towel to dry herself. Her head is tilted downward, with her hair gathered at the back. The drawing is done in a loose, sketchy style, primarily using charcoal or a similar medium, giving it a soft, textured appearance. The background is minimal, focusing attention on the figure and the nearby tub.
