A reclining nude is rendered in muted blue-green and soft flesh tones. Broad, sensitive brushwork follows the figure’s contours, giving an intimate study a quiet salon-like presence. Found in Paris, it is evocative of the tradition of French figure painting without claiming a particular school or famous artist.
Curator’s Notes
I am drawn to the soft color and the way each brushstroke seems to echo the body. In its present frame it suits a private room; in carved wood it could sit among more formal paintings.
