Nude 1900

This painting, *Nude*, is a work by French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir from 1900. Renoir's signature soft brushstrokes and focus on light are evident in this depiction of a woman's back as she sits in a draped cloth, with a warm, inviting color palette that defines the Impressionist movement. The artist's exploration of the female form and the ephemeral nature of light is a defining element in this work.
