Study of a Nude with Drapery 1908

"Study of a Nude with Drapery" is a pencil drawing created in 1908 by renowned French sculptor Auguste Rodin. The drawing, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcases Rodin's masterful ability to capture the human form with incredible detail and sensitivity. The piece, a study for a larger work, is characterized by its loose and expressive lines, which suggest the movement and volume of the figure. Rodin's signature style, evident in this drawing, is marked by its focus on capturing the essence of the human figure, rather than adhering to strict anatomical accuracy. This drawing, like much of his work, reflects Rodin's profound interest in the complexities of the human form and its potential for expressive power.
