Vintage Figurative Nude Sketch (Seated Woman)
By Franz von Stuck (Signed)
Pencil on Paper
An elegant, vintage figurative drawing by renowned German Symbolist Franz von Stuck, featuring a seated nude woman rendered in red pencil. The composition showcases von Stuck’s signature balance of sensuality and structure, with soft contours and expressive linework that highlight his academic training and deep understanding of form. Signed in pencil at the lower right.
Professionally framed in a new white-washed wooden frame under glass with an archival mat. In good vintage condition, with light wear and minor toning consistent with age.
Framed Size: 19.9 × 16.9 in (50.5 × 43 cm)
Provenance: Private Art Collection, New York City
About the Artist:
Franz von Stuck (1863–1928) was a leading figure of the German Symbolist movement and one of the founding members of the Munich Secession. A painter, sculptor, and accomplished draftsman, von Stuck was known for his allegorical, mythological, and often erotic depictions of the human form. He was appointed a professor at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, where he taught numerous students who later shaped 20th-century modernism, including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky.
Von Stuck’s drawings—such as this intimate study—reflect his fascination with classical idealism and psychological depth. His work bridges the late 19th-century academic tradition with emerging modernist tendencies, and his home and studio, the Villa Stuck in Munich, remains a monument to his artistic vision.
