Female nude reclining 1909 - 1910

This delicate pencil drawing by Auguste Rodin, a renowned French sculptor, depicts a female nude in a reclining pose. Created in 1909-1910, the work is known for its masterful use of line and shading, conveying a sense of fluidity and movement. The figure's form is captured with a subtle touch, emphasizing the artist's focus on capturing the essence of the human body rather than meticulous detail. This study is a testament to Rodin's enduring legacy as a pioneer of modern sculpture, where the human figure became a primary subject for artistic exploration. The drawing is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
