About the Item

Work on canvas Molded frame Diensions with frame : 87 x 73.5 x 4.5 cm This captivating work depicts a female nude in a dynamic pose, combining softness and tension. Every curve of the body is finely rendered, demonstrating remarkable technical mastery. The nuanced use of light highlights the texture of the skin, creating a subtle contrast with the blurred greenish background. This color palette highlights the sculptural form of the subject, accentuating the impression of movement and life. The figure, turned and slightly tilted, seems to capture an ephemeral moment, inviting introspective contemplation. The carefully averted gaze preserves the intimacy of the scene, while allowing the viewer to immerse himself in the emotional power of the composition. This balance between realism and impressionism lends the work a timeless depth and modernity.
