Description

After Jean-Jacques Henner (French, 1829-1905)

Reclining Female Nude Reading
Charcoal and black chalk on paper depicting a reclining female nude absorbed in reading, rendered with the soft modelling and dramatic chiaroscuro characteristic of the work of Jean-Jacques Henner. The composition reflects the artist’s celebrated treatment of the female figure, combining quiet introspection with a restrained Symbolist sensibility. Executed circa 1900, the drawing is likely by a follower or artist working in Henner’s circle.
Approximately 11 x 8.25 inches, laid on cardboard.
