A Seated Female Nude c. 1793

"A Seated Female Nude" is a delicate charcoal drawing by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon, dating back to c. 1793. The drawing depicts a seated nude female figure, with her back turned to the viewer. The figure's form is rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting the artist's skill in anatomical studies. The drawing's subtle shading and the soft, flowing lines create a sense of sensuality and grace, characteristic of Prud'hon's artistic style. This intimate work, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the artist's mastery of drawing and his fascination with the human form.
