The artwork titled “Nude Woman Standing” is a creation by Paul Cezanne, dating back to 1899. This oil on canvas painting belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and measures 92.7 x 71.1 cm. Classified within the nude painting (nu) genre, the artwork is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a nude female figure standing in a relaxed pose with one hand positioned behind her head and the other resting on her thigh. She gazes down and to the side with a serene, introspective expression. The brushwork exemplifies the tactile quality of Post-Impressionist techniques, with visible brushstrokes that convey movement and add texture to the surface. The use of color in the composition is reduced to a simplified palette, emphasizing form over detail. Cezanne’s characteristic style blends the figure with the background, achieving a harmonious interplay between the subject and the surrounding space. The spatial configuration and the modeling of the form reflect Cezanne’s search for underlying geometric structures in nature, a hallmark of his contribution to the transition from 19th-century artistic concepts to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century.
