Standing draped figure 1913

Ferdinand Hodler made this drawing, Standing Draped Figure, using ink on paper. I am interested in the grid underneath the figure, which gives you the sense that this is a sketch or study. It shows the architecture of the page, which is part of the architecture of thought, right? Look at the marks Hodler makes to describe the figure's drapery. In the area of the lower legs, see how the marks begin to describe the cylindrical form of the legs? They are almost cartoon-like, like little parentheses, but they perfectly communicate the figure's volume. The way Hodler renders the figure reminds me a bit of Gustave Courbet, especially in his nudes, because there's a similar sense of mass but also a certain abstraction. The lack of detail encourages you to see the figure as a collection of forms, a kind of landscape, rather than a portrait. It's a figure, but it's also just ink on paper.
