“Girl on a Drawing Table” is an artwork created by Eric Fischl in 1978, associated with the Neo-Expressionism art movement. The genre of this artwork is classified as a sketch and study.
The artwork portrays two figures, one on each side of a table. On the left, a clothed female figure is depicted resting on a stool, with her upper body leaning over the table, head propped on her arms in a resting position. To the right, a nude female figure is illustrated seated in a relaxed, introspective pose with her head resting on her hand. The composition is executed on translucent material, with layers overlapping to create a nuanced texture and depth. The black outlines and muted tone of the materials used evoke a sense of somber contemplation, characteristic of Fischl’s evocative and introspective style.
