On the painting

The stretcher bars and the central rail are visible just as they are; two female figures are drawn in charcoal on the unpainted back of the canvas, the side normally left turned to the wall.

Description of the image

Charcoal drawing on off-white canvas, split into two panels by a vertical wooden stretcher bar, with further bars framing the outer edges and staples running down the left and right sides. In the left panel a nude figure sits on a straight-backed chair in three-quarter view, one arm raised to the head, one leg stretched out to the left, the other bent under the seat. In the right panel a second nude figure stands frontally, arms drawn behind the back, knees bent, feet flat and broad. Both are worked in dense hatching with heavy dark contour lines.
