Dancing Nude and Advertisement for Eugène Verneau's "Estampes décoratives" [verso]

Louis Anquetin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a nude figure set against a swirling, cloud-like background. On one side, there is a column of text with old-style font. The text appears to be in French. On the other side, there is a detailed sketch of a male human figure exhibiting a dynamic pose. The figure appears to be integrated into a natural environment, signified by wavy lines denoting clouds or water and some vegetation below.
