Etude

Pierre Puvis de Chavannes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a nude figure seated, with one arm raised and bent at the elbow, the other resting on their side. The person's facial features are subtly depicted, along with a simple outline of short, wavy hair. Beside the figure is a small, rough drawing of a person in a flowing dress with extended arms, set against an abstract background. The sketch is on a plain canvas with no background elements visible.
