Nudo di schiena

Berthe Morisot, 1889

The artwork "Nue de dos" depicts a sketch of a figure seated with their back turned to the viewer. The figure is partially draped, with the cloth suggested by light lines. They are positioned slightly to the right, looking over their left shoulder, which reveals part of their face. The facial features are rendered, and the person has short hair covered with a cloth or cap. The drawing is set against a plain background with a textured surface. The artwork is centered on a larger sheet of paper, which is mostly blank.
