Centuries later, the imagery of the female nude is seen here, in an American painting that adopts a much more modern style. The pose of the model resembles that of the Soubiran , even though the two paintings are very different otherwise. In this work, the accentuation of the woman’s body necessitates a voyeuristic gaze to make her figure intelligible, even if her image is unclear.
