Liggende naakte vrouw 1890 - 1894

"Liggende naakte vrouw" (Reclining Nude Woman) is a delicate pencil drawing created between 1890-1894 by the French artist Theodore Roussel. Roussel, born in 1847, was known for his refined sketches and figure studies. The drawing depicts a nude female figure reclining on a bed, rendered with a light touch and subtle shading. The artist's focus on the delicate curves and contours of the body, captured with a suggestive and fleeting gesture, highlights Roussel's talent for capturing the essence of the human form. The drawing's simplicity and elegance are characteristic of the artistic style of the late 19th century, a time when artists explored themes of sensuality and beauty through their work.
