Standing Nude Female Figure c. 19th century

This 19th-century pencil sketch by Henri Lehmann is a study of a standing nude female figure. The artist, known for his academic realism, uses subtle shading and anatomical detail to capture the form and weight of the model. The figure's pose, with her head tilted downward and her hand resting on a support, suggests a moment of quiet contemplation. Lehmann's sketches are valuable for their insight into the artist's process and their demonstration of the principles of figure drawing.
