Nude woman, Anna

Female Nude is an 1876 painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, also known as Nude Woman Sitting on a Couch, Anna (after its model), After Bathing and Pearl. It is housed in the Pushkin Museum, in Moscow, and is an example of Renoir's many nude paintings, a recurring subject that preoccupied him throughout his life. The painting was created in the characteristic soft brush strokes of the Impressionist movement to emphasise feminine beauty.
