Graphite on wove paper, c. 1930

Possibly exhibited in May 8-June 1,1973 at Alan Stone Gallery entitled Erotica, which lists Lachaise as one of the artists exhibited.

Almost identical to the Lachaise drawing in the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, which is the same size and depicts the same model. (see photo)

The Metropolitan Museum has a Lachaise male nude drawing with one arm upraised (Accession Number: 68.91.1)
