Study of the Bust of a Naked Youth with a Vase – Sketch to the Painting "Vase-Seller" is a 1882 oil by Henryk Siemiradzki, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting is a study of a young man's upper body, with his face turned away from the viewer. He has short hair and is depicted from the chest up, with his right arm bent at the elbow. The background is dark and indistinct, with some brushstrokes visible. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the figure, with the light source coming from the left side of the painting. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of spontaneity.
