"Seated Female Nude" is a charcoal drawing by Willem Witsen, created between 1915 and 1920. The drawing captures a female nude in a seated pose, rendered in loose, gestural lines. The figure is shown in a relaxed and naturalistic pose, conveying a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. The work is a study in the human form and exemplifies Witsen's skill in capturing the essence of his subject. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
