Angel, black and white chalk drawing
A black chalk drawing with white highlights on blue-gray paper shows a figure in loose, billowing drapery, one arm stretched upward to the left and the other reaching down to the right. The body twists diagonally across the sheet, with soft hatching shaping the folds, and handwritten notes appear along the bottom margin.
