Study of a Nude Figure (Etude de figure nue)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing with their right shoulder leaning against an unseen surface. The person's eyes are closed or downcast, and they have a straight nose and subtle lips. The hair is medium length and brushed back. The person is unclothed, shaded with cross-hatching for form and depth. There are no accessories or objects held. The background is minimal with faint texture lines and flowing lines on the right side.
