About the Item

Work on canvas dimensions with frame : 101 x 86.5 x 3 cm This painting presents a seated nude woman, expressing a captivating presence. The rich, varied tones of the palette, from deep reds to intense blues, create a striking contrast with the figure's soft skin tone. The woman's relaxed pose, combined with her confident gaze, exudes a sense of serenity and inner strength. The texture of the brushstrokes adds a tactile dimension, accentuating the depth and volume of the body. The background is harmonized by brightly colored drapery, adding dynamism and movement to the composition. This bold yet intimate work captures the natural beauty and complexity of the human figure, demonstrating impressive technical mastery. The scene is charged with raw emotion, where classical aesthetics blend with expressive modernity.
