M14294: Nude Woman Standing, Drying Herself
PrintsAt center, a nude woman stands with her back to the viewer drying herself with a towel she holds in her left hand. She holds her right hand bent in front of her, out of view. She bends at the waist forward and to her left, looking downward, as her long dark hair hangs down in front of her. In the foreground stands a small cushioned bench with various articles of clothing draped on it. The background is indicated by a pattern of dark textured marks beyond the woman.
