Female Nude

Aristide Maillol 1861 - 1944

Summary

This print seems quite unusual as it only depicts the upper torso of a nude female figure. She is modelled using thick black outlines with softer, smudged shading. The figure is shown from the waist upwards with the suggestion of some material covering below her waist. She is seen in profile looking downwards with her right arm raised above her head and her left arm down by her side. Other than the female figure there are no other details in the print as the background is left plain.
