This is a striking original French Impressionist style oil painting depicting a seated female nude viewed from behind. The composition features a beautiful contrast between the cool blue atmospheric background and the warm, rich tones of the red velvet-style chair. The brushwork is expressive and fluid, characteristic of the French School, with soft light catching the contours of the figure's back and hair. The painting comes housed in its original, elegant gold gilt frame, which adds a touch of classic sophistication to the piece.
