Nude Study, Girl Sitting on a Flowered Cushion is a 1924 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting on a low, cushioned surface. Her legs are bent to one side, arms resting behind her. The cushion has a simple floral pattern along the edge. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft shading to show her body and the folds of the fabric. The artist focused on the curves of her body and the simple shape of the cushion. The sketch feels more like a practice drawing than a finished work. If you like this style, check out George Bellows (American, 1882–1925).
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
