Kvindelig modelfigur med hænderne foran brystet 1717 - 1776

This drawing, created between 1717 and 1776 by Jacques François Joseph Saly, depicts a nude female figure standing with her hands clasped in front of her chest. The artist, known for his academic and anatomical studies, uses a combination of black and red chalk to create the figure's form. This study of the human form highlights Saly's keen eye for detail and his interest in classical art. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of realism and three-dimensionality, typical of the Rococo period. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
