Seated Female Nude c. 20th century

"Seated Female Nude" is a 20th century drawing by the American artist Robert Henri, known for his contributions to the Ashcan School movement. This intimate artwork, rendered in red ink, depicts a nude female figure seated with her knees bent, capturing a fleeting moment of stillness and contemplation. Henri’s signature is visible in the bottom right corner, adding a personal touch to this poignant portrayal of the human form. The drawing, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, reflects Henri’s interest in portraying everyday subjects with honesty and realism, a hallmark of the Ashcan School's artistic philosophy.
