Standing Male Nude, Lucille Douglass, charcoal on machine-made laid paper
This image is created with black ink on paper. It represents the partial façade of a building, which is cut off by the left and top edges of the sheet. A sidewalk moves into the scene from the foreground to the middle ground, with trees lining it on either side.
Three birds are depicted on a grassy hilltop with mountains populating the background. The bird on the left crouches forward while the two birds on the right stand upright and alert. The bird on the far right is completely white, and the other two birds have white edged wings with black and yellow striping on their bodies. This patterning is more pronounced on the left bird.
