Modèle nu, debout, passant une robe

Modèle nu, debout, passant une robe was originally intended as a lithograph, and was probably drawn in Paris in late October or early November 1891. It is dated from the technique and comparison with a similar but successful lithograph, Draped Figure, Standing c046. 1

However, it is possible that the pen drawing was added some time after the crayon drawing was rejected for lithographic transfer.

It is catalogued in MacDonald 1995 (cat. rais.) [more] (cat. no. 1306) dated '1890/1894'.
