Young Nude Seated on the Edge of a Well 1907

Henri Lebasque's "Young Nude Seated on the Edge of a Well" from 1907 captures the beauty of a woman in nature. The subject, a young nude, sits on the edge of a well, her red hair cascading down her back as she runs her fingers through it. The surrounding forest, painted with vibrant, almost iridescent colors, emphasizes the sensuality of the scene. Lebasque's use of brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and light, drawing the viewer into the moment. This painting, a characteristic example of his work, showcases the artist's mastery of color and his fascination with the female form.
