1878
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Standing Nude Model is a 1878 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a woman standing sideways, her body turned slightly toward us. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s barefoot, with one arm resting at her side and the other bent behind her. The lines are soft but clear, focusing on her shape and posture. The sketch looks like a quick study—maybe for practice. The artist focused on how light and shadow shape her body, not on details like skin texture. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark to create depth.
Otto Henry Bacher (May 31, 1856, Cleveland - August 16, 1909, Bronxville, New York) was an American artist; primarily known for his etchings and illustrations. He also painted oils in a variety of genres.
