"Standing Female Nude, study for the central figure of 'The Tepidarium'" is a notable work by the French painter Théodore Chassériau (1819–1856), created in 1853 as a preparatory study for his larger painting "The Tepidarium." Chassériau, who was of mixed French and Dominican descent, is often associated with the Romantic movement, although his style also incorporated elements of Neoclassicism and the nascent Realist movement. His oeuvre is characterized by a sensual elegance and an interest in both the human form and exotic subjects, influenced by his teacher Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres as well as his contemporary Eugène Delacroix.

The study depicts a nude female figure in a standing pose, which was intended to be the focal point in the final composition of "The Tepidarium," a painting that portrays women in a warm room of the Roman baths. The term "tepidarium" refers to the warm bathroom of the Roman thermae, heated by a hypocaust or underfloor heating system. The larger work is part of a tradition of Orientalist painting, which was popular in the 19th century and often featured scenes of the Near East or North Africa, depicted as places of sensuality and decadence.

Chassériau's study is significant for its demonstration of the artist's skill in rendering the human figure and his ability to convey the softness of flesh and the subtlety of form. The piece is executed with a delicate touch, showcasing the artist's mastery of light and shadow to create a sense of three-dimensionality. The study not only served as a blueprint for the final painting but also stands on its own as a work of art, reflecting the artist's fascination with classical antiquity and his commitment to academic figure drawing.

The work is held in high regard for its technical proficiency and its place within the context of Chassériau's artistic development. It provides insight into the artist's creative process and his contribution to 19th-century French art. "Standing Female Nude, study for the central figure of 'The Tepidarium'" remains an important piece for scholars studying the intersection of Romanticism, Neoclassicism, and early Realism, as well as those interested in the portrayal of the female form in art history.
