Sketch for Woodblock "Bather" I 

This sketch by American artist Rockwell Kent, titled "Sketch for Woodblock 'Bather' I," depicts a male figure in a seated pose. The bold outlines and gestural lines characteristic of Kent's style are evident in the drawing, which was intended as a preparatory study for a woodblock print. The artist is known for his expressive depictions of the human form and the natural world, and his work often reflects his interest in the American landscape and its inhabitants. This sketch is an example of Kent's approach to figurative drawing, emphasizing anatomical form and capturing the essence of the subject's pose.
