Nude with burgundy drapery
Nude with burgundy drapery
Oil, canvas, 112 x 102.5 cm
The work is executed in a classicist manner, the anatomy of the character and the background landscape being treated naturalistically. The female character dominates the composition from a central position, in a right semi-profile pyramidal construction . The dark-light value contrast made up of the anatomical shape and the english red drapery, as well as the light coming from an external source, have the role of highlighting the features of the nude, thus emphasizing the academicism of the composition.

- on the back:
2 auction tags with number 62528, Magyar Postatakarékpénztár Árverési Csarnok
- Condition of the work:
in the upper part there are tears lined with wax and canvas patches with fringed edges, in the lower area of the composition there are paint layer detachments and lacunae present; the canvas is de-tensioned, and because of this the edges of the stretcher were easily imprinted on the painted side.
