Pebble 1948

"Pebble" (1948) by René Magritte is a painting featuring a nude female figure standing in front of a yellow gingham background. The figure's body is rendered in a simplified, almost cartoon-like style, with a strong focus on her form. This work reflects Magritte's signature Surrealist style, known for its dreamlike imagery and the juxtaposition of seemingly ordinary objects in unexpected ways. The artist's use of the female figure as a subject matter, combined with the starkness of the background, creates a sense of mystery and intrigue.
