A voluptuous standing nude rendered in warm, flesh-toned impasto paint that anticipates Fautrier's later experimental textures. The figure emerges from a dark, ambiguous background with a sensuous yet restrained handling of form, reflecting the artist's grounding in traditional academic painting before his radical departure into abstraction. This early work demonstrates Fautrier's mastery of conventional technique while hinting at the expressive materiality that would define his celebrated *Otages* series.
