The large eye, stylized brow, and stocky trunk in this quick sketch of a standing female nude register the influence of ancient Iberian sculpture on Picasso's art around 1906. The heavy lines in the figure's upper half give it a sense of sculptural immobility—as though carved out of the page by pencil—while the raised right foot and bent leg reflect a more humanistic naturalism, showcasing Picasso's habitual synthesis of styles. The rough edge of this sheet (covered by the mat) indicates that it was likely torn from a sketchbook.
