Study of a Nude Woman, Seated Looking to the Right (recto) Study of a Male Nude (verso)

Pierre-Paul Prud'hon

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two sketches of nude figures. The left sketch depicts a woman with short hair sitting on a surface, leaning back with her right leg extended and left leg bent. Her arms are crossed over her chest. The right sketch depicts a man standing with one arm raised and the other resting on his thigh. The background of both sketches is grey-blue with darker shading behind the figures. The left figure faces right, the right figure faces right. The left figure's surface appears to be a ledge or a low wall. Both figures are drawn in shades of grey. The sketches appear to be done in pencil or charcoal. The background behind the sketches is white. The sketches are side-by-side.
