1601
chalk
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Nude Female Figure [verso] is a 1601 chalk by Italian 17th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a seated woman drawn in red and white chalk. Her body turns slightly to the side, one arm resting on her knee and the other behind her back. The lines are loose but confident, with some areas left lighter to show shadows. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to capture her pose and movement. The red chalk stands out against the pale background, making the figure pop. Next, check out Baroque to see how this style used drama and energy in art.
This Italian artist worked in the 17th century, making engravings, ink drawings, and oil paintings.
