Nude Study 1895

Thomas Wilmer Dewing's "Nude Study" from 1895 depicts a female nude standing with her arms outstretched and gazing upwards. The figure is rendered in soft, pastel tones against a muted brown background. The artist's delicate handling of the medium creates a sense of ethereal beauty and subtle sensuality, characteristic of Dewing's style. Dewing's interest in the female form and his mastery of pastel are evident in this work.
