About this work
Overview
Alaston naismalli is a painting created by Georges Lemmen around 1895. It depicts a nude female figure and exemplifies the artist's work in the neo-impressionist style.
Subject & Meaning
The painting shows a woman seated on a chair, partially draped in a light-colored cloth, with her upper body exposed. She holds the fabric loosely in her hands, set against a blurred background of greens, reds, and yellows.
