A Nude from the Back

A masterful pen and ink study by Soviet realist artist Geli Korzhev, this work captures the human form from behind with confident, expressive linework. The drawing demonstrates Korzhev's exceptional draftsmanship, using ink to define the contours and subtle musculature of the figure with both precision and sensitivity. The spare economy of the medium on paper lends the composition an intimate, immediate quality, revealing the artist's deep engagement with classical figurative tradition.
