Bajadere 1903

"Bajadere" is a 1903 oil painting by German artist Leo Putz, known for his depictions of sensuality and exoticism. The painting features a reclining female figure, likely inspired by the exotic dance tradition of the "Bajadere" in India. The woman's dark skin and elaborate jewelry, along with the hazy background, create a sense of mystery and allure. Putz's signature style is evident in the painterly technique and the use of vibrant colors. The painting captures the spirit of the Belle Époque and its fascination with the exotic.
