Nude

Berthe Morisot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated woman from behind up to her knees, with her upper body turned slightly to the side and her left shoulder visible. Her head is slightly turned, showing a partial view of her face with delicate features. Her hair is styled under a cloth cap, framing her face. The woman is nude, and the sketch highlights the curvature of her back and shoulders. No jewelry or objects are visible, and the background is plain with a textured surface, emphasizing the subject.
