More about this artwork
This painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, titled "Femme nue assise vue de trois-quarts (Baigneuse)" painted between 1915 and 1919, portrays a seated nude woman. The woman is depicted in a three-quarter view, which gives a sense of depth and volume to her figure. Renoir's brushwork is loose and fluid, characteristic of his later work, where he often focused on softer and warmer hues to highlight the human form and the play of light.The woman's contemplative pose, with her head bowed and gaze directed towards her body, creates an intimate atmosphere. Her flesh is rendered in shades of pink and white, with strokes of color that suggest the luminosity and texture of skin. The background appears to be loosely represented, suggesting a natural, outdoor setting, possibly a nod to the traditional themes of bathers in nature that Renoir frequently revisited in his works.Overall, the painting exemplifies Renoir’s continued fascination with the human figure, his mastery in capturing the softness of form, and his ability to convey mood and atmosphere through a vibrant palette and dynamic brushwork.
