About the Item
"Seated Nude with 'X'" is a conté crayon drawing on paper by the American artist Sandra Sweeney (1947 - 2017). The figure study captures an intimate and candid moment: In the image, a nude lady reclines against assorted blankets, her gaze deferred to her right. Though in a relaxed pose, she clasps her left heel, adding tension to the scene. Sweeney's loose but elegant handling of line captures the volume and weight of the woman's body, giving the impression of being before the model herself. Indeed, 'impression' is an apt word here — "Seated Nude with 'X'" is reminiscent of the drawings of such Impressionist masters as Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas. Sweeney signed this drawing in the lower right corner with a simple 'X'.
