Female nude at a knited carpet 

This painting by German Expressionist artist August Macke depicts a nude female figure seated on a patterned rug. The figure's soft, rounded form contrasts with the sharp angles and vibrant colors of the rug, which is rendered in a bold, almost abstract style. Macke's use of color is particularly striking, with the warm tones of the figure's skin contrasting with the cool greens and blues of the background. The painting is a testament to Macke's exploration of form, color, and the human figure, characteristic of his brief but influential career.
