The Figure of Sarah, Bride of Tobias 1830 - 1882

This is a graphite drawing of a nude female figure standing in profile by French artist Henri Lehmann. Created between 1830 and 1882, the artwork depicts Sarah, the wife of Tobias from the biblical story of Tobias. The loose lines and sketchy nature of the drawing convey a sense of movement and informality, likely a study for a larger painting. This piece showcases Lehmann's skill in capturing the human form with delicate precision, a hallmark of his artistic practice.
