Seated Female Nude
by HAMMERSHØI, Vilhelm, Oil on canvas, 126 x 93 cm
In this painting the artist has accurately and gently modelled with his brushes the woman’s skin and voluptuous curves. The nude has a bodily sensuality that is often overlooked within Hammershøi’s art; a sensuality that also appears in several of the artist’s renditions of his wife, Ida.
