Seated Nude is a 1926 by Alfred J. Wands, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a person sitting with one leg bent and the other foot flat on the ground. Their arms rest on their knees, and their head is turned slightly to the side. The lines are loose and quick, focusing on shapes and shadows rather than details. The drawing looks like a practice study—maybe for a larger work. The artist focused on how light and shadow shape the body, not perfect realism. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark to create depth.
Alfred J. Wands (1904–1998) was an American artist.
