"Naaktstudie van een voorover gebogen zittende vrouw" (Nude Study of a Woman Sitting Bent Over) is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Pieter de Josselin de Jong, created between 1871 and 1906. This study, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman sitting with her head bent over her knees in a contemplative pose. The drawing showcases de Jong's skilled use of hatching and shading, creating a sense of volume and depth in the figure's form. This intimate study exemplifies de Jong's interest in the human figure and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of human anatomy through careful observation and skillful draftsmanship.
