Negen studies naar vrouwelijk naakt, waarvan twee staande en face, en drie staande op de rug gezien 1846 - 1904

"Negen studies naar vrouwelijk naakt, waarvan twee staande en face, en drie staande op de rug gezien" (Nine studies of female nudes, two standing frontally and three standing seen from behind) is a series of nine studies for a larger composition by Henri Fantin-Latour, completed between 1846 and 1904. These studies are significant for their detail and the artist's careful observation of the female form, demonstrating Fantin-Latour's interest in capturing the nuances of anatomy. This particular study, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a delicate graphite drawing on paper measuring 185 mm in height and 285 mm in width.
