Here's a pencil study by Jean Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) of a model with drapery .
The study is very carefully observed, but it's surely not a copy of what he saw. Instead he edited the forms to fit with his sense of flow and make it look right for an angel. Most academic studies were propelled by narrative choices away from literal truth.
He probably executed another study of the nude figure, and traced the hands, face, and feet from that study as a basis for this one.
The sketch was a gift to one of his students, illustrator André Castaigne.
