Description
The image is a sketch of a reclining figure depicted from head to toe, lying on their side with their upper body propped up slightly. The facial features are minimally detailed, with closed eyes, a small triangular nose, and a faintly smiling mouth. The figure's hair is short and dark, depicted with simple strokes. The torso is exposed and sketched with minimal lines. The background includes abstract elements representing an outdoor setting with rough, expressive lines symbolizing plants and vegetation. The image is drawn with blue and green tones on beige paper and signed at the bottom right corner by the artist, Otto Mueller.
