Study of a standing nude is a 1926 by David CBE Jones, depicting clothed male, naked female, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a nude woman standing with her back to the viewer, her left hand on her hip. She is drawn in a sketchy style with loose lines and minimal shading. The background is a plain beige color. A notable detail is the use of cross-hatching to suggest the texture of the woman's skin and the folds of her clothing, which is draped over her left arm. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. If you're interested in exploring more works like this, you might want to look into the technique of cross-hatching.
