Embers Glow 1890 - 1897

"Embers Glow" is a print by Theodore Roussel, a French artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The artwork, created between 1890 and 1897, portrays a nude woman kneeling amidst drapery, illuminated by an unseen source of light. The print's use of tonal contrasts and the soft, shadowy figure evoke a sense of intimacy and mystery. Currently, the artwork resides at The Art Institute of Chicago.
