Naked woman viewed from behind holding fabric which billows behind her, looking at naked man standing before her 1500 - 1600

This anonymous 16th-century engraving features a nude woman and man, their bodies rendered with careful detail. The woman, seen from behind, holds a billowing fabric, while the man stands before her. Their poses and the flowing drapery create a sense of movement and intimacy. The use of cross-hatching and stippling techniques contribute to the artwork's sense of realism and depth. This small-scale work, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an excellent example of the Renaissance interest in the human form and its anatomical study.
