Seated nude and standing nude 1906

This charcoal drawing, created in 1906 by Pablo Picasso, depicts two female nudes. The composition is stark and bold, capturing the essence of the figures in a simplified, almost geometric style. The seated nude is drawn with a sense of weight and solidity, while the standing nude is more elongated and ethereal. The use of thick lines and shading contributes to the overall feeling of dynamism and movement. This work is a prime example of Picasso's early exploration of Cubism, characterized by its fragmented forms and simplified representation of the human body.
