“Seated Nude in Blue” by the artist Sanyu is a notable work within the genre of nude painting (nu). The artwork portrays a nude female figure seated in a relaxed and confident pose, with a shawl in blue draped lightly over her shoulders and back. The subject’s body is rendered in soft brushstrokes, emphasizing natural form and anatomy. The use of color is minimal yet effective, with black, pink, and light blue tones bringing the figure to life. The woman’s typewriter bob hairstyle, necklace, and high heels accentuate the sophisticated and modern portrayal. Sanyu’s signature is visible at the lower right corner, affirming the piece’s authenticity.
