René BUTHAUD (1886–1986)
Half-Length Nude with Flower Crown

This delicate drawing depicts a half-length nude female figure adorned with a floral crown in shades of red, green, and white. The artist skillfully uses graphite and shading to softly model the contours of the body, while touches of ink wash and watercolor enhance the hair and crown, bringing a sense of freshness and poetry to the composition. The graceful pose and pensive expression lend the piece an aura of serenity.
Signed twice in the lower right corner.
