The artwork titled “Suzanne Bathing” was created by Tamara de Lempicka around the year 1938. Crafted with oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Art Deco movement and fits into the genres of nude painting and religious painting. Currently, it is held in a private collection.
The artwork portrays a nude woman in a seated position, evocative of classical representations of Susanna from the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders. The woman is depicted with soft, rounded forms and skin rendered in smooth, luminous tones characteristic of Lempicka’s style. Her blond hair is styled in tight curls and her gaze is directed away from the viewer. The background includes lush foliage, accentuating her delicate figure. The meticulous attention to detail and the restrained palette create an image that is both serene and visually compelling.
