A woman with short hair sits on a low stool. The work’s title, Curled Nude on a Stool, pointedly describes the pose. She leans forward, body pressing on thighs. Her lowered head is in line with her knees, and hands touch feet at the floor. The figure is in profile – we see one arm, one ear and one leg. The arm hides her face.
