Femme assise c. 1885 - 1887

"Femme assise" is a red chalk drawing by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created between 1885 and 1887. The piece features a nude female figure seated, viewed from behind. Renoir is known for his Impressionist style, and this drawing captures his signature use of soft, flowing lines and subtle shading to depict the human form. The artist's masterful rendering of the sitter's anatomy and posture contributes to the overall sensuality of the work. "Femme assise" is a fine example of Renoir's skill in capturing the beauty of the female form.
