In the cacophony of art featuring nude women, I appreciate this one.

The focus on the face, the intention, agency and relatability of the model.

It’s a life drawing study, a damn good one

Thank you. Yes, I don't put focus on sexuality and I was learned with classroom studies. The human body is a challenge, and also something we all share, therefor it is interesting as a subject to me.

I do draw men sometimes, all though I'm better at women - most models that was put in front of me when I studied were female. I am aware that it could be weird though, that a guy is painting (often younger) nude women, so that's something I am thinking about.

this is a great example of how artistic nudity is and what should be considered as fine on this page. even if the figure was female, its clear done for artistic purposes and centers on the figure, not the figures nudity

The model has agency, and is relatable? I see this as "more art, less porn" but I think your weird choice is "random bullshit go!"

Agency: the model is employed as a life drawing figure. She knows that she will be portrayed, and she chose how. She is an active partner in the art making process.

Relatable: artists commonly have some experience with life drawing.

Ahh ok. I saw no indication that this was a model posting for a painting, vs a photograph used for reference. But I guess you made sure you had the facts before you made your comment.

Cheers!
