Nude Woman Standing dates from about 1887.
The drypoint is so slight that it is difficult to date. It is not signed on the plate but a pencil butterfly on a tab suggests a date around 1886 (Graphic with a link to impression #K1230104). The plate is similar in size to Young Woman Standing [333] - which may date from 1887/1888, and to The Church - Brussels (Adoration) [340], which dates from late 1887.
Edward Guthrie Kennedy (1849-1932) grouped it with etchings of the late 1870s such as Nude Reclining [126]. Howard Mansfield (1849-1938) grouped it with etchings dating from 1887 such as The Beach, Ostend [353]. 1
