Kvinde, der læser i en seng 1887 - 1940

"Kvinde, der læser i en seng" is a drawing by Danish artist Charles Alexandre Malfray, created between 1887 and 1940. The piece features a woman lying on a bed, her body rendered in delicate red chalk strokes against a warm, ochre background. This study of the nude exemplifies Malfray's exploration of the human figure and is a fine example of his masterful use of line and tone. The drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
