Seated Nude is a 1870 charcoal by William Perkins Babcock, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a nude woman seated on the ground, with her legs bent and her arms wrapped around her knees. She is facing the viewer, with her head turned slightly to the right. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. The woman's body is rendered in soft, gentle lines, with subtle shading that suggests the contours of her form. Her face is serene, with a quiet, introspective expression. The overall effect is one of calmness and contemplation. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists associated with the Impressionism movement.
