Reclining Female Nude 1600 - 1635

"Reclining Female Nude" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Domenico Tintoretto, created between 1600 and 1635. The artwork, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts a nude female figure lying on her back with her legs extended and her arms resting by her side. The artist's use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and shadow, emphasizing the contours of the figure. This drawing is a preparatory study for a larger work, showcasing Tintoretto's skill in capturing the human form with anatomical accuracy and expressive detail.
