The artwork, titled “L’après-midi d’un faune, another nymph,” was created in 1912 by the artist Léon Bakst. This piece falls under the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and belongs to the design genre.
The artwork showcases an elegant figure, a nymph draped in an elaborate and flowing garment adorned with intricate, undulating patterns and motifs, predominantly in blue and white hues. The nymph’s attire is embellished with artistic wave-like designs, contributing to the piece’s visual fluidity and balance. The figure stands gracefully with her arms extended slightly, adding a sense of movement and grace to the composition. Her long hair, rendered with meticulous detail, complements the overall ethereal and delicate aesthetic characteristic of Bakst’s style within the Art Nouveau movement.
