| Desc: | I love works on paper and the anonymity of this nude, and I am drawn to the hair and the swollen painted lips of the face. The smudged area of the eyes and brows further obscures rather than reveals the identity of the figure. | ||||

| The androgynous quality of the figure, which seems more female above the waist and more male in the limbs, is as compelling as the figure's attention to his/her hands and foot. I find it very satisfying to gaze at a drawing of such beauty that leaves so many questions unanswered . . . |
