Reclining Female Nude 1887 - 1952

"Reclining Female Nude" is an etching by Dutch artist Chris van der Windt, created between 1887 and 1952. The artwork is a portrait of a nude woman reclining and is characterized by its detailed lines and shading, creating a sense of depth and realism. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist’s mastery of etching, a technique where lines are etched onto a metal plate with acid, resulting in a unique print. Van der Windt's use of light and shadow effectively emphasizes the figure's form, making it a powerful and evocative piece of art.
