Etude de bras 

This study of an arm and hand, "Etude de bras," showcases the artistic skill of French painter Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret, who was known for his realism and detailed depictions of human subjects. The piece is a testament to the artist's careful observation and mastery of anatomy. Executed in a delicate, almost translucent red chalk, the drawing captures the subtle contours and musculature of the arm and hand, highlighting the artist's keen understanding of the human form.
