"Arm sketch by Charles Bargue" is a drawing that is part of a larger body of work known as the "Cours de dessin," which was created by the 19th-century French painter and lithographer Charles Bargue in collaboration with Jean-Léon Gérôme. The Cours de dessin, or "Drawing Course," is a series of lithographs that were published between 1866 and 1871 and intended as a foundational drawing course for aspiring artists. The series is divided into three parts, with the first focusing on lithographs of plaster casts, the second on various master drawings, and the third on male nude models.

The "Arm sketch" specifically refers to one of the lithographs from the first part of the course, which features detailed studies of individual body parts from classical sculptures. These studies were designed to teach students the fundamentals of drawing, emphasizing form, proportion, and the subtleties of light and shadow. The "Arm sketch" is representative of Bargue's meticulous approach to drawing and his dedication to classical standards of beauty and precision.

Charles Bargue's "Cours de dessin" has been influential in the training of many artists, and the "Arm sketch" exemplifies the rigorous academic style that was prevalent in the École des Beaux-Arts during the late 19th century. The course was widely disseminated and used in art schools well into the 20th century, and it has seen a resurgence in popularity among classical art training programs in recent years.

The "Arm sketch" and the entire "Cours de dessin" remain important resources for understanding the academic art tradition and the pedagogical methods employed during the period. The works are not only significant for their educational value but also as examples of Bargue's skill as a draftsman and his influence on the artistic practices of his time.
