Description
study, signed; naked, sitting on a green threshold, female figure, a woman behind her reaches the spread bath towel, after which the sitter holds his arms backwards, grasps. No details, strong simplification in a few colored main forms at the same time forming the form. Blue sky with white horizontal stripes. The sketchy implementation achieves strong plastic effect.
