Seated Female Nude

Philip Leslie Hale

National Gallery of Art

The image features a drawing of a woman sitting, depicted in a three-quarter view from the head to the mid-thighs. She has a serene expression, with her right arm resting on a surface and her left hand on her thigh. Her head is slightly tilted to the right, looking downwards. The drawing shows the woman's facial features, hair styled back, and an unclothed body through light sketching on neutral-toned paper. The background is a plain, textured surface in a light brown hue.
