Female Torso c. 1890 - 1891

"Female Torso" is a delicate pencil and watercolor drawing by John La Farge, created around 1890-1891. The artwork depicts a female figure in profile, partially draped in fabric. La Farge, a prominent American artist known for his stained glass and murals, utilized his mastery of line and shading to create a graceful and suggestive study of the human form. This sketch, likely a preliminary study for a larger work, showcases La Farge's refined artistic sensibility and his interest in capturing the fleeting beauty of the human body.
