"Study of a Seated Nude" is a painting by the renowned English artist William Etty, known for his emphasis on the nude in historical, biblical, and mythological paintings. Etty's work, created in the 19th century, often sparked controversy due to its explicit content at a time when such depictions were considered scandalous by Victorian society. However, Etty was also celebrated for his ability to capture the human form with a combination of realism and idealism, and his work played a significant role in the acceptance of the nude as a subject in art within Britain.

"Study of a Seated Nude" exemplifies Etty's mastery in rendering the human figure with a focus on anatomical accuracy, rich coloration, and sensual portrayal. The painting is likely a preparatory work, part of Etty's rigorous practice of studying the human form to improve his skills in life drawing. Such studies were essential for Etty's larger compositions, allowing him to refine his technique and explore the play of light and shadow on flesh.

The painting depicts a nude figure seated in a relaxed pose, which allows for an examination of the musculature and the natural curves of the body. The identity of the model and the exact date of the painting's creation are not well-documented, reflecting the common practice of the era where studies were often seen as exercises rather than works for public display. Despite this, "Study of a Seated Nude" stands as a testament to Etty's dedication to the academic tradition of studying the nude, and his contributions to the art of figure painting in the British art canon.

The work is part of Etty's broader legacy, which includes his influence on later artists and his role in the Royal Academy of Arts. His commitment to life drawing and the study of the nude helped to elevate these practices in the academic setting, making an indelible mark on the training of future generations of artists. "Study of a Seated Nude" remains an important piece for understanding Etty's artistic process and the development of nude painting in the 19th century.
