Nude Study is a 1912 by Aristide Maillol, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a loose, flowing figure drawn in quick, wavy lines. The paper is light beige, and the drawing is made with a brownish-red pencil or charcoal. The lines are rough but confident, leaving some areas blank where the hands or face might be. The artist left the title written at the bottom: *"Nude Study."* It looks like a practice piece—simple, not polished. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
