Explore selected works

Multiple studies of a nude female figure in various poses, with most figures showing the entire body. In the central drawing, the woman is seated on a stool with her legs slightly bent. The facial features are delicately rendered with a defined jawline. The other sketches show the figure in different seated and standing positions. The background is plain, with no specific settings. Handwritten text is visible near the top center. — Léon Lebègue, Nine Studies of a Female Nude, black crayon on laid paper, Joseph F. McCrindle Collection, 2009.70.153
