This line drawing of a nude woman from Aristide Maillol's series Odes d'Horace and Les Géorgiques IV reflects the artist's deep engagement with the female form. Maillol (1861-1944) was a prominent French sculptor and printmaker known for his contributions to modern art in the early 20th century. His illustrations for classical texts, particularly Virgil's Georgics, began during a voyage to Greece in 1908 and evolved over several decades. The project culminated shortly before his death in 1944, with its publication by Philippe Gonin in 1950. Featuring a suite of wood engravings, Maillol's work exemplifies his distinctive style characterized by lyrical forms and a profound connection to classical themes, making it a significant contribution to modern art.
