Nud de femeie cu umărul drept acoperit is a 1923 by Nicolae Tonitza, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
The painting shows a woman sitting down, with her right shoulder covered. She is nude, with her left arm resting on her left thigh. The background is plain. The woman's face is turned slightly to the right, and her hair is pulled back. Her body is relaxed, with her weight shifted onto her left hip. The artist has used simple lines and shading to create a sense of volume and texture. This drawing is a great example of Tonitza's skill with cross-hatching and stippling.
