Verworfene weibliche Aktstudie im Typus der Venus pudica 

This study of a female nude, titled "Verworfene weibliche Aktstudie im Typus der Venus pudica," is a drawing by the Italian artist Ventura Salimbeni. The drawing is executed in a loose, gestural style, with swift lines suggesting the form of a female figure. The composition evokes the classical pose of the Venus Pudica, in which a woman is depicted modestly concealing her body with her hand. Though a sketch, this artwork shows Salimbeni's grasp of human anatomy and ability to capture a fleeting moment of movement, making it a valuable example of his artistic practice. This drawing currently resides in the Städel Museum.
