Kvindelig modelfigur med løftede arme, den venstre foran øjnene. 1717 - 1776

This charcoal drawing by Jacques François Joseph Saly, dating from 1717-1776, portrays a female figure standing with her arms raised, her left arm obscuring her face. The artist’s use of shading and contour lines highlights the model's anatomy. The drawing is a study of the human form, demonstrating Saly's skill in capturing the subtleties of the human body, and serves as a testament to the artist's practice of sketching from life. This piece, currently in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a notable example of Saly's work and provides insight into the artistic practices of the 18th century.
