Standing Female Figure with Bared Torso 1868

Edgar Degas, a renowned French Impressionist artist, created the charcoal and pastel drawing *Standing Female Figure with Bared Torso* in 1868. The artwork depicts a female figure in a loose-fitting garment, with her torso revealed, standing in a casual pose. The artist's use of loose lines and gestural strokes captures the fleeting moment and emphasizes the movement of the figure. This drawing is a fine example of Degas's exploration of the human form and his focus on capturing the essence of movement. It is currently housed at the Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland.
