Nude in a Cane Chair 1911

"Nude in a Cane Chair" is a charcoal drawing by Rik Wouters, created in 1911. The drawing features a female nude, rendered in loose, expressive strokes, sitting in a cane chair. Wouters, a Belgian artist known for his depictions of modern life and domestic scenes, employed a bold and simplified style that captured the essence of his subjects. His work often reflected the influence of Fauvism and Expressionism, emphasizing emotion and spontaneity over precise realism. The drawing's bold lines and dramatic composition create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability.
