The artwork “Study of Women at the Plant” by Fernand Léger is a sketch and study piece from the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement, measuring 51.5 x 66.5 cm. This work is housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork features a stylized depiction of a female figure alongside a plant. The lines are bold and black, creating a stark contrast against the tan background. The woman’s face is outlined with minimal but expressive lines, capturing her contemplative expression. Her hand supports her head while another rests beneath it, suggesting a pose of reflection or introspection. The plant beside her is also simplified into basic forms, consistent with the stylistic elements of Naïve Art. The overall composition emphasizes simplicity and a direct, unembellished approach, which is characteristic of Léger’s work in this art movement.
