"Étude Anatomique de Jambe" (Anatomical Study of a Leg) is a notable work by the French painter and draftsman Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1758–1823). Prud'hon, who bridged the gap between Neoclassicism and Romanticism, was renowned for his mastery in drawing and his ability to capture the human form with a sense of both idealism and realism. This study is a testament to his deep understanding of human anatomy and his skill in rendering it artistically.

The drawing is executed in a combination of black and white chalk on blue paper, a technique Prud'hon frequently employed, known as "trois crayons" (three crayons). This method allowed him to achieve a soft and delicate gradation of tones, which was well-suited to the subtleties of flesh and the nuances of light and shadow. "Étude Anatomique de Jambe" showcases Prud'hon's deft handling of the medium and his ability to convey the complexity of the musculature and the play of light across the forms of the leg.

While the exact date of creation for this work is not clearly documented, it is reflective of Prud'hon's practice of creating studies from life, which he would later use as references for his larger compositions. These studies were not only exercises in skill but also demonstrations of the artist's knowledge of the body, which was essential for the academic training and practice of artists during the period.

"Étude Anatomique de Jambe" is significant in the context of art history for its illustration of the academic approach to drawing and the importance placed on anatomical studies by artists of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Prud'hon's work, with its combination of classical grace and expressive line, occupies a unique place in French art and this drawing is a fine example of his contribution to the tradition of anatomical studies in art.

The drawing is part of the collection of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which holds a significant number of Prud'hon's drawings and is a resource for understanding the artist's process and the educational practices of the time. "Étude Anatomique de Jambe" continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and its beauty, reflecting Prud'hon's enduring legacy as a master draftsman and teacher.
