Lot information
The work depicts a female nude, probably in the exotic setting of a harem, which was a popular theme in turn-of-the-20th-century painting. The painting bears the hallmarks of the Orientalist style, which drew inspiration from exotic motifs and fantasies about life in the Middle East. Here, the painter sensitively works with light, which emphasizes the gracefulness of the female body and the delicacy of the veil, while the contrast between the soft strokes of the brush and the more intense colored areas creates an atmosphere of a mysterious environment. This painting is an exceptional example of Symbolist and Art Nouveau inspiration from around 1900.
