Marie Jordan naked on the back, George Hendrik Breitner (1889)
An intimate image of a woman in the bedroom or by the toilet, it is a centuries-old theme in art. She is naked and seen from the back: we think the painter, draughtsman or photographer away for a moment. She imagines herself unseen. This is how Breitner photographed his mistress Marie sitting on her bed and taking her bath when she is about to sink.
A photo taken by painter George Hendrik Breitner. Because of the age of the photo it is not sharp and may contain a lot of noise. The charm of photography from the past is in the picture.
