← Besnard, Albert

The image shows a nude figure in a reclining pose. The body is oriented slightly sideways, facing left, and the head is tilted slightly downward. The facial features are soft and partially shaded, with closed eyes and a relaxed expression. The hair is long with gentle waves falling down past the shoulders. The person seems to be holding a long piece of fabric or garment draped over one shoulder and extending down the back. The background is textured with dark, sketch-like shading interspersed with lighter areas for contrast around the figure.
