Female Nude Seated 

Alphonse Legros's "Female Nude Seated" is a graphite drawing depicting a seated nude woman. The subject is positioned in a three-quarter view, resting her head on her arm. The artist's attention to detail in rendering the figure's form is evident in the subtle shading and the subtle texture of the drapery. Legros, a prominent figure in the Realist movement, was known for his sensitive portrayals of the human figure, often incorporating elements of classical and Renaissance traditions. This drawing is a testament to his mastery of draftsmanship, capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the human form.
