The artwork, titled “Large Bather,” was created by Raoul Dufy in 1914. Executed using oil on canvas, the piece belongs to the Cubism art movement. The dimensions of this portrait are 245 by 182 centimeters, and it is currently held in a private collection.
This vibrant Cubist painting portrays a robust figure of a woman, depicted with bold, geometric shapes and strong, angular lines characteristic of the Cubist style. The woman’s form is accentuated by a rich interplay of colors, set against an abstracted background of a cityscape. Her posture suggests a moment of reflection or repose, and the mosaic-like rendering of the surroundings offers a dynamic, kaleidoscopic effect. The use of bright hues and sharp contrasts contributes to the overall intensity and vitality of the composition.
