Sketch for "Night" by Francis Augustus Lathrop

A pencil study on paper shows a nude male figure seen from behind and in profile, one arm raised overhead and the other extended, with a bent leg planted at the lower left. Light, loose hatching models the torso and limbs against a pale, unfinished ground.
