1940s Nude Drawing Study II

A framed sketch by Swedish artist Harriet Rosander de Tourtchaninoff (1912–1965), previously known as Harriet Sjöö. Created in the 1940s, this artwork is a study of the female form, emphasizing expressive gestures and natural curvature over fine detail to capture the body’s fluid lines and graceful posture.

The drawing is mounted on a warm-toned textile backing, which enhances the beige, aged paper and adds depth to the composition. The rustic wooden frame, painted in a soft gray with a distressed finish, complements the sketch’s vintage character. The piece has a raw, authentic quality, highlighting the artist’s direct approach and the timeless quality of figure studies in classical art.

Condition 
Good vintage condition, consistent with its age and use. The paper shows some wrinkles and has naturally yellowed over time, as expected for a piece of this era.
