More about this artwork
"Seated Nude Seen From Above" is a captivating piece by Paul Gauguin, dating from between 1888 and 1889. This drawing, rendered with a harmonious blend of pastel colors, provides a unique viewpoint, focusing on a woman from an overhead perspective.The subject is seated, with her body gently curved in a way that emphasizes her form and the soft, rounded lines of her figure. Her head is bowed, casting her gaze downwards, which adds a sense of introspection or melancholy to the composition. The warm flesh tones of her body contrast subtly with the cooler, darker green hues surrounding her, highlighting her form against the shadowy background.Gauguin’s technique, characterized by the soft blending of pastels, showcases his ability to capture the texture of human skin and the subtlety of human form with a sensitive, yet expressive touch. This artwork not only reflects Gauguin's skill in figure drawing but also his interest in conveying the emotional and psychological depths of his subjects through posture and color.

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin was a French Post-Impressionist artist. Unappreciated until after his death, Gauguin is now recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinct from Impressionism. Toward the end of his life, he spent ten years in French Polynesia. The paintings from this time depict people or landscapes from that region.
