After taking classes in drawing and painting at the Art Students League of New York in the 1920s, Louis Nevelson began producing simple sketches of nude women in earnest. These works, including Untitled (Female Nude), 1935, were composed from a modernist approach to line drawing and display Nevelson's interest in Henri Matisse.
