Nude and Fish with Flowers (Study for etched bathroom window) is a 1900 ink by Karel Vitezslav Masek, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a grid of small drawings on light paper. The top row has six panels: five flowers with long stems and one woman’s head in profile. The bottom row has five panels: two show a woman’s torso, one has a fish, and the others have plants or rocks. The lines are thin and precise, with some shading. The fish in the center looks almost like a small drawing tucked into the grid. The artist used simple lines to show details like scales and fins. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
Karel Vitezslav Masek (1889–1889) was an artist.
