Sitting Nude, seen from the back

It was above all in the years 1937 to 1941 that Grosz partly concentrated his work on the female nude and erotic subjects again, executing them in pencil, pen and ink, charcoal and mixed media. As mostly always his wife Eva, like in this very work, posed for him in the studio but also in nature, mostly in Cape Cod, the fashionable summer resort Grosz started to attend in 1938, spending there two or three months every year, where also this very work was executed in 1940. Verso there is another drawing by the artist ("Modeling Female Nude").
