Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Femme nue assise (Delteil 12; Stella 12)

This etching by Renoir depicts a seated female nude rendered with the artist's characteristic sensitivity to form and delicate line work. Created around 1906 late in the artist's career, the print demonstrates his continued engagement with classical subject matter and the intimate scale typical of his graphic works. The impression on laid paper with Fortune watermark retains full margins and measures 310 by 238 millimeters.
