More about this artwork
The painting titled "Seated Figure" by Jules Pascin, created in 1914, features a portrait of a young woman sitting in a relaxed, slightly slumped pose. The figure populates the center of the composition, almost blending with the background due to the use of earthy, muted tones. The woman is dressed in a light, possibly white dress that drapes softly over her body, exposing her arms and legs, emphasizing a sense of vulnerability or casualness.Her expression is somewhat contemplative or introspective, with her gaze directed downwards, which invites viewers to ponder what might be on her mind. The background is abstractly formed, with brushstrokes that create a hazy, undefined space around her, focusing the attention on the figure herself.Pascin's style here uses loose, expressive brushwork, characteristic of his approach to portraiture, where the emotional state of the subject is often as important as their physical depiction. The overall mood of the painting feels intimate and personal, capturing a moment of quietude or personal reflection.

Nudes, street scenes and landscapes of women and tropical locations by Bulgarian-born American painter Jules Pascin (1885-1930). Born to an affluent family, Pascin was educated in Austria and Germany before moving to Paris in 1905. It was there that he became associated with the Modernist movement. He attached himself to the human condition and was known for painting portraits of nude and half-dressed women. He stands in the grand tradition of the romantic, bohemian artist.
