About this work

Overview

Standing Female Nude, executed around 1919 by the artist catalogued as 30276_person, is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The work depicts a solitary woman positioned indoors, her torso turned slightly away from the viewer, set against a loosely rendered interior that includes a table with fruit and a blue bowl.

Subject & Meaning

The composition presents a nude figure in a domestic setting, emphasizing the contrast between the softness of her skin tones and the surrounding objects. The inclusion of bright oranges and a blue vessel may suggest themes of everyday abundance and the quiet intimacy of private space, inviting contemplation of the body within a lived environment.

Technique & Style

The painting is characterized by thick, expressive brushwork that leaves the strokes visible, creating a tactile surface. This impasto approach intensifies the pink and yellow hues of the flesh, while the background remains loosely suggested, allowing color and texture to dominate over precise detail and impart a sense of movement.

History & Provenance

Created in the immediate post‑World War I period, the work entered the holdings of the Museum of Ethnography, where it remains on display. Its attribution to the artist identified only by the catalog number 30276_person reflects the limited documentation typical of many early twentieth‑century works in the museum’s collection.
