Seated African Woman

Henri Regnault

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a seated, nude African woman. She is sitting on a white cloth or sheet with her left hand resting on it. Her right hand is not visible. The woman has dark skin and is wearing an orange headscarf with a white cloth hanging down behind her ear. She is sitting with her legs slightly apart and her right leg extended. The background shows a wall with a dark green and brown color and a curtain on the right side with red, orange, and pink colors.
