Study (Academy) is a 1908 oil by Mário Villares Barbosa, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
This painting depicts a nude woman standing in a room, her body facing the viewer with her head turned slightly to the right. Her left hand is raised to her chin, and her right arm hangs by her side. The background of the painting is a muted color, with a wall and a piece of furniture visible behind the woman. The woman's body is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the contours of her muscles and the texture of her skin. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought.
