Studies for Christopher Columbus 

Eugène Delacroix's "Studies for Christopher Columbus" is a collection of sketches showcasing the artist's dynamic approach to figure drawing. This work, likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, features several figures in various poses, from a cloaked woman to a reclining nude. The artist uses quick, fluid lines to capture the essence of form and movement, demonstrating his mastery of capturing the human body. These studies highlight Delacroix's ability to utilize line to convey both anatomical accuracy and emotional expression.
