The artwork entitled “Tall Nude (also known as Woman Nude Standing)” was created by Pierre Bonnard in 1906. Rendered in oil on canvas, the piece exemplifies the Post-Impressionism movement. It has dimensions of 140 by 80 centimeters and belongs to the genre of nude painting (nu). Presently, it resides in a private collection.
In this painting, Pierre Bonnard presents a solitary nude woman standing tall in what appears to be a domestic interior. The central subject is depicted with a downcast gaze, her body surrounded by subtle, muted tones that evoke a sense of intimacy and naturalism. The artist’s brushstrokes are loose and textured, contributing to the softness of the scene. The background includes a chair and fabric, suggesting a moment of stillness and contemplation. The interplay of light and shadow on the woman’s skin, along with the carefully chosen color palette, underscores the influence of Post-Impressionism in focusing on the emotional undertones and subjective perception of the scene.
