Nude 1994

"Nude" is a 1994 drawing by Arthur Bowen Davies, an American artist known for his Symbolist style. The drawing depicts a nude female figure rendered in white chalk on a brown paper background. The figure is posed in a dynamic, expressive manner, suggesting movement and emotion. While the details are minimal, the composition emphasizes the flowing lines of the figure and the artist’s mastery of anatomy. Davies's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the drawing. This work exemplifies the artist's interest in the human form and its capacity for both beauty and expressiveness.
