"Nude Women" is a charcoal drawing by the French Impressionist artist Camille Pissarro, created around 1896. The drawing depicts two nude figures, one facing away from the viewer and the other partially obscured, set against a backdrop of foliage. The artist's characteristic loose and gestural style is evident in the fluid lines and sketchy details. Pissarro's focus on the natural world and his exploration of light and shadow are also present in this intimate work.
