Seated Nude with Her Arm Resting on Her Leg (Femme nue assise, le bras appuyé sur la jambe) is a 1892 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a nude woman seated with her arm resting on her leg. The woman's body is rendered in gentle, curved lines, with her face turned slightly to the side. Her hair is pulled back, and her eyes are cast downward. The background of the etching is a soft, muted gray, which helps to emphasize the woman's form. The etching is done in a romantic style, with a focus on the beauty and sensuality of the female form. The artist's use of gentle lines and soft shading creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability.
