Seated Female Nude 1891 - 1941

"Seated Female Nude" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a nude woman seated in a relaxed pose. The artist utilizes bold strokes and shading to capture the form of the figure, highlighting the curves and contours of the body. The work is a study in the human form, typical of Gestel's interest in figural representation and the exploration of light and shadow.
