Female nude 

This painting by Andre Derain, a prominent figure in the Fauvist movement, depicts a reclining female nude against a dark background. The subject's body is rendered in a bold, simplified style, with thick outlines and vivid colors, characteristic of Fauvist aesthetics. The use of strong, contrasting hues emphasizes the sensuality and form of the figure, while the dark background creates a sense of intimacy and isolation. Derain's "Female Nude" exemplifies the Fauvist approach to figurative art, where color and expression take precedence over traditional techniques and realism.
