Study of Seated Female Nude, Variant c. 1904 - 1919

This charcoal drawing, created between 1904 and 1919, is a study by the famed Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, depicting a seated female nude. The figure is rendered with soft, expressive lines, characteristic of Renoir's later works. The artist's signature is prominently displayed at the bottom of the sheet, adding an element of authenticity to the piece. This intimate study is a testament to Renoir's enduring fascination with the human form and his mastery of drawing. The drawing is currently housed in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
