This classic red chalk drawing depicts a beautiful female nude asleep on a couch, her right arm resting on her hip and her left arm raised over her head. The shadows confirm the volumes and a zenithal lighting of the model. The treatment of the face with closed eyes, free of any hair, contributes to the complete nudity of the body.

In the lower part of the drawing, the folds of the sheet on the couch, where the model is resting, are as detailed as those of the nude, in contrast to the upper part of the drawing, which is left without any lines.

The model’s rest seems to be linked to the incompleteness of this drawing.
