The artwork titled “Nude Girl” was created by Paula Modersohn-Becker in 1904. Utilized on paper, this piece belongs to the Expressionism movement and falls within the genre of nude painting (nu). The dimensions of the artwork are 32 x 26.5 cm.
In the artwork, a young girl is depicted in a nude state, seated and curling inward on herself. Rendered with a palette of muted tones, the girl’s form is softly delineated against a darker, almost indistinct background. Her hair, painted in a subdued yet warm hue, contrasts with the overall earthy colors of the piece. The brushstrokes are expressive and convey a sense of introspection and vulnerability. The play of light and shadow accentuates the natural, unembellished pose of the girl, embodying the emotive essence of the Expressionist style.
