Nadia c. 1948 - 1952

"Nadia" is a portrait created by French artist Fernand Léger. It depicts a woman with a bold, simplified style, characteristic of Léger's Cubist and Synthetic Cubist periods. The figure is outlined in thick, black lines against a cream background. The woman's face is partially obscured by her hand, a recurring motif in Léger's work, where he often explores themes of human perception and the interplay of form and space. Created between 1948 and 1952, "Nadia" is a testament to Léger's artistic vision of modern life and the human form.
