http://www.franciscunningham.com/nudes.html

There is nothing in all of art more complex, difficult and wonderful to draw, paint and sculpt than the human nude. It is us. By 1970 I had evolved and developed a figure that coordinates a model's proportions with what the eye actually sees from the artist's station point. This is not an idealized figure.

Is neither a sketch nor a study. It is a painting undertaken in one session.
