A horizontally elongated drawing of a woman lying face up while her body is slightly facing the artist.

The contour lining working its way to the left while the mass of the body is thickening at the calf of the lower part of the females leg. A bend at the knees and greater mass at the thighs of the body. The lower part of the body’s buttock is visible through the space in between her slightly vertically separated knees. The contour lining continues in between the body’s legs presenting the pelvic lining and the hips. The lining resumes left passing the thoracic area, the contour then bends down creating the upper arm and then bends right making the forearm and hand. Finally the contour ends at the female body’s left clavicle which is on the upper left side of the drawing. Lighting initiates on the upper right of the drawing.
