Nudo

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, circa 1895

This painting portrays a woman seen from the upper thighs up. Her body is slightly turned to the right with her head facing the left, and her left arm is extending outward, holding an indistinct pale shape. She has pale skin and brown hair tied behind her head. Her facial features are captured loosely, with round cheeks and red lips turned up at the corners. She is nude, and her body is painted in textured, fluid brushstrokes. The background is a mix of red, green, brown, yellow, and tan, painted with visible brushstrokes, giving the painting a sense of movement.
