Zittend vrouwelijk naakt, in driekwart naar rechts, ten halven lijve 1839 - 1890

"Zittend vrouwelijk naakt, in driekwart naar rechts, ten halven lijve" is a delicate pencil drawing by French artist Auguste Toulmouche, dated between 1839 and 1890. The drawing depicts a seated female nude in a three-quarter pose, viewed from the waist up. The subject's head is tilted downwards, casting a soft, contemplative mood. The artist's signature is present in the lower right corner of the drawing. This intimate piece showcases Toulmouche's skill in capturing the beauty of the human form through precise lines and subtle shading. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic trends of the 19th century, specifically the study of the human figure.
