Female Roman Statue Seen from the Back 

This drawing by Nicolas Poussin, a master of French Classicism, depicts a female Roman statue seen from the back. The figure is rendered in a simple, yet elegant style, highlighting the flowing lines of the drapery and the subtle play of light and shadow. The piece is notable for its focus on form and its emphasis on the classical ideal of beauty, a hallmark of Poussin's artistic style. The drawing demonstrates his meticulous attention to detail and mastery of anatomical accuracy, which he often applied to the figures in his paintings.
