Nude Model, Standing

About this work

This sketch shows a quick, loose drawing of a standing person from behind. The lines are rough and uneven, with no clear details on the face or clothing—just a simple hat. The paper is plain, and the brown marks look like they were made fast, almost like a quick study. The artist left out most details, focusing just on the shape and movement of the body. This kind of sketch was often used to practice capturing poses before a full painting. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
