"Nude lying down" is a 1975 ink drawing by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko (1927-1984). This piece showcases Havrylenko's signature style of minimalist line work, capturing the human form with a powerful simplicity. The drawing's focus on the female nude is a recurring theme in Havrylenko's oeuvre, exploring the beauty of the human body through precise and evocative lines. Though the work is currently in a private collection, it offers a glimpse into Havrylenko's artistic exploration of the human form, a significant theme throughout his career.
