Studies of Nudes n.d.

Henry Fuseli, a Swiss-born artist known for his dramatic and often nightmarish imagery, created this study of a nude figure, a testament to his meticulous observation of human anatomy. This graphite drawing, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Fuseli's exploration of form and shadow, capturing the intricate musculature of the figure with remarkable precision. While not as dramatic as his finished paintings, these studies provide insight into his artistic process, revealing the foundational elements that informed his iconic works.
