Nu. Draft 1890

"Nu. Draft" is a striking 1890 chalk drawing by Gustave Moreau, housed in the Musée National Gustave Moreau in Paris. The piece showcases Moreau's signature Symbolist style, characterized by a dreamlike atmosphere and a focus on the female form. The figure, rendered in stark white against a dark, almost abstract background, evokes a sense of mystery and sensuality, typical of Moreau's exploration of themes of myth and the subconscious. This draft offers a glimpse into Moreau's artistic process, highlighting the artist's unique use of line and light to create a powerful and evocative image.
