“Utrillo Nude Sitting on a Couch” is an artwork by Suzanne Valadon, completed in 1895 in Paris, France. Executed in crayon on paper, this piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and serves as a study and sketch genre.
The artwork depicts a nude figure seated on a couch, rendered with a delicate and graceful use of lines. The subject’s relaxed posture conveys a serene, introspective mood as they lean back on one hand, with one leg extended over the couch’s edge while the other leg is drawn up slightly. The monochromatic crayon medium showcases nuanced shading and texture, accentuating the subject’s form and the soft folds of the couch. The composition captures a quiet moment of stillness, emphasizing the harmony between the figure and its surrounding environment.
