Sketch Sheet 1865

"Sketch Sheet" is a collection of figure studies by François-Nicolas Chifflart, created in 1865. The sheet features a series of sketches of various figures, including a study of a man's back, a woman in flowing drapery, and a group of figures. The drawings are executed in a loose and gestural style, capturing the artist's observations of the human form. This work exemplifies the artist's use of quick sketching to capture fleeting moments and explore different poses and compositions. The sheet is a valuable insight into Chifflart's artistic process and his interest in anatomical study.
