Drypoint. A slender female model is seated on the ground; she faces left and is supported by her left arm. Her left leg is tucked beneath her; her right leg is bent at the knee, on which rests her extended right arm. There is a patch of shadow on the ground beneath the figure. The subject is summarily scored in drypoint.
