A horizontally oriented black wash and gouache drawing on tan paper depicts a nude man with light skin tone. Facing right, he sits hunched forward with knees pulled to his chest, arms wrapped around his right leg with hands clasped. Bold, dark brushstrokes define his muscular form, while muted green-yellow gouache provides subtle highlights. A heavy shadow pools beneath him, and sparse lines suggest a minimalist background surface.
