I took some liberties in this drawing with the foreground and background. The model was actually lying across two separate pedestals, neither of them very large, rather than lying on a single surface, and the wall behind her was white, not dark grey. The foreground was simplified for the sake of time; I only had thirty-five minutes to complete the drawing. The background was changed because I found the large area of white space, the back wall, distracting. It seemed to overwhelm the figure.
