September Morn 1911

"September Morn" (1911) by Paul Émile Chabas depicts a nude female figure standing in a body of water, her back to the viewer. The figure's pose is both graceful and suggestive, reflecting the artist's interest in capturing the beauty of the human form. The painting's soft, hazy atmosphere and muted colors create a sense of tranquility and evoke the serenity of a warm autumn morning. It is a work that exemplifies the Symbolist movement in French art, with its emphasis on emotion, mood, and suggestion over literal representation. The painting is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
