Early Modern Nude clothed male, naked female

About this work

This sketch shows two figures in a room. On the left, a nude woman stands holding a small box. Her body is drawn with loose, quick lines. To the right, a clothed man leans against a wall, his arms raised. The drawing looks unfinished, with lots of sketchy marks and smudges. The woman’s pose is stiff, and the man’s face is barely there—just a few lines. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
