Woman Undressing 

"Woman Undressing" is a pastel drawing by the French artist Jean-Louis Forain. It depicts a woman in the act of undressing, her body obscured by a flowing cloth as she stands near a piece of furniture. The composition is simple, with the figure filling most of the space, and the use of muted colors and soft lines creates a sense of intimacy and privacy. The drawing is a characteristic example of Forain's style, which combined elements of realism with a stylized, almost caricature-like approach to form. Forain was known for his social satire and his depictions of Parisian life, often exploring themes of modernity, decadence, and the human condition.
