The French artist's mastery is evident in this etching and drypoint on laid paper, showcasing his exceptional talent for capturing the human form. In this mesmerizing piece, a female model named Carmen stands confidently, her nakedness celebrated as an artistic expression. Besnard skillfully portrays her grace and beauty through delicate lines and intricate details.
