"Kvindelig model" (Female Model) is an etching by Danish artist L.A. Schou, dating from between 1850 and 1899. The artwork, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a nude female figure from behind, her body leaning against a wall, her head turned inwards. The simple composition and delicate lines of the etching, a popular medium in the 19th century, capture the artist's keen eye for detail and the beauty of the human form.
