Jane Poupelet

Sleeping Cat (recto) Torso of a Nude Woman (verso)

1900

This work by Jane Poupelet demonstrates the artist's skilled use of brush and gray wash across two compositional studies. The recto presents a carefully observed sleeping cat rendered with soft, gestural marks that capture the animal's relaxed form, while the verso explores the human figure through a focused study of a female torso. The economical application of wash on both sides reveals Poupelet's confident draftsmanship and her interest in studying diverse subjects from nature and the human body.
