Amphitrite 1930

"Amphitrite", a 1930 work by Raoul Dufy, depicts the Greek goddess of the sea in a delicate line drawing style. The figure of Amphitrite is depicted nude, sitting with a seashell at her ear, while another shell rests at her feet. The work's simple lines and airy clouds evoke a sense of calm and beauty, characteristic of Dufy's signature style. It is an example of the artist's interest in the female form and his use of classical mythology as a source of inspiration.
