"Nana" is a painting by Henri Gervex, a French artist known for his Realist and Impressionist styles. The painting depicts a woman, likely a courtesan, in a luxurious setting. She is dressed in a white gown and seems to be preparing for an evening out, while a man sits in the background, seemingly observing her with a relaxed, almost bored, expression. The painting offers a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and fashionable in 19th-century France, highlighting the social dynamics and subtle power plays of the era.
