Zittend naakt vrouwelijk model met hoog kapsel, ernaast nogmaals geschetst 1797 - 1849

"Zittend naakt vrouwelijk model met hoog kapsel, ernaast nogmaals geschetst" is a pencil drawing by William Etty, a prominent English artist known for his detailed studies of the human figure. The piece, dated between 1797 and 1849, showcases Etty's mastery of anatomical accuracy and his fascination with the female form. The subject, a nude female model, is depicted in a seated pose with a high bun. The drawing's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of volume and realism. The presence of another, less defined sketch alongside the main figure further emphasizes the artist's exploration of form and composition. This piece, like many of Etty's works, exemplifies his dedication to academic figure drawing, a style prominent in the art world of the early 19th century.
