A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts a nude woman with a light skin tone reclining diagonally across the paper. Her legs point toward the lower left, while her head rests on a pillow in the upper right, eyes closed and mouth slightly open. Her torso turns forward, one arm tucked behind her back. Sketchy lines and hatching define her form against a light-colored background. Two signatures and a fraction appear in the lower right.
