Alfred William Finch, a British artist born in 1854, created this painting of a standing female nude. The subject stands in an interior setting, possibly a studio, with a chair and a mirror behind her. Finch's painting style is characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the form and light of the human figure. The piece exemplifies the artistic trend of studying the nude figure, a tradition prevalent in academic art of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
