René BUTHAUD (1886–1986)
Bust and Nude with a Crown of Flowers
This delicate drawing depicts a nude female figure, seen from the bust, wearing a floral crown with red, green, and white accents. The artist uses graphite and smudged pencil to gently sculpt the body's volume, while touches of ink wash and watercolor enhance the hair and crown, bringing a fresh and poetic note to the composition. The graceful pose and pensive gaze give the work an aura of serenity.
