Seated Nude 

This pencil drawing by William Etty depicts a seated nude female figure. The subject's pose is relaxed and natural, showcasing the artist's mastery of anatomy and form. The artist's skilled use of shading creates a sense of volume and depth, drawing the viewer's eye to the figure's graceful form. This study, likely a preparatory sketch for a larger work, exemplifies Etty's interest in the human figure and his contribution to the tradition of academic nude drawing.
