The artwork, titled “Back View, Nude,” was painted by Frank Mason in 1958 and belongs to the Classical Realism art movement. It is categorized within the nude painting (nu) genre.
The artwork depicts the back view of a nude figure, standing with a draped cloth partially concealing her form. The composition is rendered in rich, warm tones, with deep shadows contrasting against the illuminated portions of the figure’s skin, highlighting the natural curvature and texture of the body. The background is muted, with textured brushstrokes that add depth and focus attention on the central figure. The artist’s application of light and shadow accentuates the timeless elegance and anatomical accuracy characteristic of Classical Realism.
