Study of a female nude is a 1892 oil by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting is a study of a female nude. The woman is shown from the side, with her body turned slightly towards the viewer. Her face is blurred, and her body is depicted in a realistic manner. The painting is done in oil paint, and the artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and texture. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and tension in the painting. The contrast between light and dark adds depth and volume to the figure, making it seem more lifelike.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
