Female Figures

Here are two female nudes improvised from memory yesterday.
They show that artistic anatomy which is often associated with academic life drawing can also be used for a much more spontaneous delicate eloquence.

Incidentally speaking of life drawing, even though these conceptions of the female form will mainly derive from the Diagram of Woman they are also very much influenced by decades of life room drawing.

The second drawing shows Pentimenti not only in the linear corrections of the outline but also in an entire change of position of the legs.

Silly me they are dated 1.10.16 but they are 1.9.16
