Draped Model 1865 - 1867

"Draped Model," a preparatory study by Albert Joseph Moore, showcases the artist's mastery of line and form. Created in 1865-1867, this chalk drawing on brown paper depicts a woman standing in a flowing gown. The delicate shading and meticulous detail highlight the folds of the fabric, creating a sense of movement and sensuality. Moore's aesthetic, influenced by Pre-Raphaelite ideals, emphasized beauty and idealized femininity, making this piece a testament to his artistic vision.
