About Nude woman standing, front view, hands clasped in front of the chest

The artwork entitled “Nude woman standing, front view, hands clasped in front of the chest” is a creation by the artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, dating back to 1844. It falls under the Neoclassicism art movement and is categorized as a nude painting (nu).

The figure is rendered with meticulous attention to the anatomy and proportions, conveying a sense of idealized beauty consistent with Neoclassical aesthetics. The linear quality of the drawing, with fine, clearly defined contours, enhances the sense of form and structure.
