Study of a standing female nude

Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Bt ARA (1833-1898)

Pencil heightened with white on biege paper

7 x 8 1/2 inches, 43.2 x 21.6 cm.

This late drawing does not appear to be related to any of Burne-jones's finished works. It is freely drawn and shows the elongated canon of proportion the artist favoured in his last years.
