The artwork, entitled “The Model,” was created by Tamara de Lempicka in 1925. It is an oil painting on canvas, classified under the Art Deco movement and falls within the genre of nude painting (nu).
The painting depicts a woman with her face obscured by her forearm, creating an air of mystique and anonymity. Her torso is partially draped with a white cloth, highlighting her contours and the smoothness of her skin. The background features flowing, abstract shapes in muted tones, which contrast with the sharp, polished figure of the model. The use of light and shadow accentuates the curves of the woman’s body, while the overall composition reflects the elegance and modernity emblematic of the Art Deco style. The pose and the soft yet vivid colors contribute to the sensual and refined aesthetic characteristic of Tamara de Lempicka’s body of work.
