Expressive ink drawing depicting a standing female nude, executed in the style of British modernist painter Duncan Grant. The figure is rendered with confident, fluid linework that captures both the structure and movement of the human form. The artist employs loose cross-hatching and gestural strokes to define the contours of the torso, limbs, and facial features, creating a spontaneous and lively study typical of early twentieth-century modernist figure drawing.

The composition reflects characteristics associated with Grant and other artists connected to the Bloomsbury Group, whose work often emphasized intimate figure studies and expressive draftsmanship. The relaxed contrapposto stance and simplified anatomical modeling lend the drawing a sense of immediacy, suggesting it may have been executed as a life-study or studio sketch.

Presented matted and framed.
