Seated Nude

Seated Nude shows a nude woman seated on a stone surface with her knees drawn up and arms wrapped around them, her gaze turned slightly to the left. A blue veil drapes over her head and shoulders, creating a cool contrast with the warm, modeled skin against a dark, rocky background. The work is rendered with Bouguereau’s polished academic technique, with soft, even lighting that emphasizes smooth skin, precise anatomy, and the subtle reflection in a small pool near her feet.
