Studies of Nudes n.d.

"Studies of Nudes" is a charcoal drawing by Henry Fuseli, known for his dramatic and sometimes unsettling depictions of the human form. This particular study features a reclining female nude, executed with loose, expressive lines that convey both anatomical accuracy and an underlying sense of movement. While the drawing is unfinished, it reveals Fuseli's characteristic exploration of the body and its expressive potential, a theme that would become central to his later paintings. The work is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, a testament to the enduring interest in Fuseli's unique artistic vision.
