The artwork “Indian Model in the Studio at l’impasse Guelman” was created by Raoul Dufy in 1928. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is categorized as a genre painting.
The artwork depicts an intimate studio setting with an Indian model seated amidst an array of colorful rugs and eclectic furnishings. The model, draped in a vibrant traditional garment, is the focal point, exuding poise and tranquility. Surrounding her are various art materials, including easels and framed paintings, indicative of a creative and vibrant studio environment. The harmonious blend of colors and the somewhat simplistic, yet expressive brushstrokes typify the Naïve Art style, conveying not just a scene but an ambiance of artistic exploration and cultural reverence.
