Catalogue Note
Bouguereau used such studies to plot out arrangments of volume and line while also experimenting with variations in color and tone. The present study was made in preperation for the artist's Femme au coquillage of 1885 (Sold: Sothebys, New York, October 25, 2005, lot 59, illustrated).
