The languorous, sensual pose of this woman is strongly reminiscent of the popular paintings of odalisques, slaves and concubines in Turkish harems. Much of this canvas is thinly painted or left entirely blank, suggesting that it was a figurative study rather than a finished work of art. The French Academy in the 1800s saw the depiction of the nude as the ultimate measure of an artist's skill. Because models often changed positions, students had to work quickly and without embellishment. Here, the artist completed only those areas necessary to emphasize the contours of the model's body.
The model lies naked as a nude with her back to you. As a result, the girl's legs, buttocks, hip and back are exposed on the portrait, a nude portrait.
All in all a sexy and sensual erotic picture with romance.
Isidore-Alexandre-Augustin Pils (Paris, France, 1815 - Douarnenez, Département Finistère, 1875) was a French academic painter of religious and military subjects. In 1831 he became a student at the École des Beaux-Arts.
