Female Nude Seen from Behind 1600 - 1615

This plaster relief, titled "Female Nude Seen from Behind" was created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer in the early 1600s. This piece is a notable example of Durer's exploration of the human form through the medium of relief sculpture. The figure's anatomical accuracy and the realistic rendering of the drapery are characteristic of the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The inclusion of the artist's monogram and the date "1509" on the plinth, suggests a connection to the artist's earlier work and the influence of Classical art. The piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
