Adolphe Borie

Seated Nude
c. 1920

An impressionistic painting of a seated nude woman with her left hand resting on her thigh and her right arm supporting her as she leans slightly forward. The background features abstract shapes and colors suggesting foliage and flowers. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with a rich palette of earth tones, greens, and reds.
