One of my favorite past-times is browsing through past auction results looking for nudes. Yesterday I had a chance to visit the Ketterer Kunst Auction House website and browse their past auctions. I found some very beautiful works of art with a nice portion featuring the subject matter of Adam and Eve, the temptation, and expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Included in their past auctions were some beautiful 18th and 19th century academic nude drawings. I have also included a few non-nude paintings that caught my eye, mostly from brush work and the use of color. Enjoy. (all illustrations courtesy of Ketterer Kunst)
