Nude with a comb

A high drawing of a female nude combing her hair and looking at herself in a small mirror held in her left hand.

The model, with a generous hairstyle flowing down to her upper torso, is seen from the front, seated on a sofa. Her body, which is clearly on display, occupies the first diagonal, with a table holding a bouquet in front of a small chair with in the foreground an openwork Napoleon III back, which was often drawn by the artist. The sofa fills the second diagonal.

The nudity of the long-legged body is enhanced by the graphic design of all the elements surrounding the model. Our gaze travels in a figure of eight through all the elements of the extremely well-structured drawing.

The impossible encounter with the eyes of the model, who is busy looking at herself, gives us time to admire this feminine beauty.
