Location: The Courtauld, London (Samuel Courtauld Trust)
Medium: red chalk with touches of black and white chalk on laid paper

Image description: This red chalk study is a variation of the standing female nude on the other side of this sheet executed in pen and ink. An ink spot marking the figure’s navel has seeped through to this side of the paper, which Parmigianino used to mark the same feature of his second nude in red chalk. This is an unusually creative approach to developing the two female figures in different positions, both serving the artist as models for the decoration of Santa Maria della Steccata in Parma. (verso).
