Nude Woman 1916

"Nude Woman" is a 1916 painting by the Belgian artist Theo van Rysselberghe. The painting depicts a seated nude woman with her arms crossed over her chest, creating a sense of modesty and introspective contemplation. Van Rysselberghe, a key figure in the Belgian avant-garde, is known for his contributions to the Neo-Impressionist movement. The use of visible brushstrokes and a muted palette of greens, yellows, and browns is characteristic of the artist's style, and the painting exemplifies his transition toward more figurative and expressive subjects.
