Accuse nude : from French (Accuser le nu) In sculpture, make it possible to distinguish under their envelope, the shape, the disposition and the movement of the parts of the figure that the garment covers. To accuse the nude under the draperies, it is necessary after having well designed and drawn the nude model, to adjust the garment so that the movement of the folds lends itself exactly to the form, and does not add anything to their volume. In the same way, it is to blame the muscles and bones under the skin in the correct way.
