Olympia 1875

This watercolor painting, "Olympia," by Paul Cézanne from 1875, depicts a reclining nude woman in a dimly lit room with two figures standing near a chair in the background. The artist’s use of loose, gestural strokes and muted colors creates a sense of intimacy and ambiguity, characteristic of Cézanne’s later works. "Olympia" is a study of light and form, and it showcases Cézanne's experimentation with simplified shapes and bold compositions. This work can be viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
