Nude child 

This graphite study, "Nude child", is a work by Frederic Leighton. Created in the mid-19th century, the drawing depicts a nude child in a seated pose with arms raised, with a second figure sketched in the upper right corner. Leighton is known for his academic approach, focusing on anatomical accuracy and realistic detail. His drawings, like this one, are often considered preparatory sketches for larger works and provide a glimpse into his artistic process. The study showcases Leighton's masterful ability to capture the human form in a sensitive and insightful manner.
