The sheet appears structurally sound and is presented in an ornate gold-tone decorative frame. A small mark appears in the lower-right portion of the composition.Provenance: Private collection of Friedrich Albrecht, Vienna; reportedly acquired by Hans Keller, Munich, circa 1930; thence by descent to a private European collection. This ownership history was reported by the consignor; supporting records have not been independently verified.Visual Description: An intimate composition depicting a reclining woman resting upon bright yellow drapery and a large rose-colored cushion. The figure wears a pale blue undergarment with softly ruffled edges and tall green stockings secured with red bands. Her raised hand, extended arm, and bent legs establish a relaxed yet psychologically charged pose. Delicate black contours define the anatomy, clothing, and facial features, while transparent washes of yellow, pink, green, blue, and orange provide expressive color accents. The expansive unpainted paper surrounding the figure isolates her body and heightens the directness of the pose. This composition reflects stylistic elements commonly associated with major figures in modern and contemporary art.
