Drawing : Female Academy

Obligatory style exercise of the Beaux-Arts, drawing from a living model to produce many works ... unequal quality !
Here, the talent of the artist does not suffer any doubt, the way of modeling the curves by magnifying the anatomy, shows that it was about a confirmed student, even beyond.
For this one, "Young chaste woman", 62 X 48 cm approximately, small peripheral tears and slight traces of manipulation, a sketch on the back, pencil with very slight heightenings of white stone, mounted under mat.
Circa 1880.
