Kenyon Cox nude study

Original - Nude study in graphite; preparatory drawing by figurative art advocate Kenyon Cox for the allegorical figure of Romance in "The Arts" mural at the Library of Congress Jefferson Building.
Edit 1 - Likely more realistic colours for graphite, which is, after all, a soft grey.
Reason
Kenyon Cox was an outspoken opponent of abstract art; his artistic theory emphasized drawing from life, allegory, and classical themes. This study for a mural at the Library of Congress is a good example of his priorities and style. Restored version of File:Kenyon Cox nude study.jpg.
