1916
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Nude Woman Seated is a 1916 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a seated woman with her legs bent to one side. She’s bare except for a draped cloth over her lap, and her arms rest on her knees. The lines are rough and the shading is uneven, giving her soft curves but also a slightly rough look. The artist focused on her body’s weight and balance, with one foot tucked under her. The background is just a faint blur, keeping all the attention on her. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro for more on how shading creates depth.
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.
