Nude Figure of a Girl

The artwork Nude Figure of a Girl is a painting created by Pierre-Auguste Renoir between 1880 and 1890. It is currently held at the Ashmolean Museum. The painting measures 40 cm in height and 32 cm in width (15.7 in × 12.6 in).

The painting depicts a nude female figure reclining on a bed of vibrant orange and yellow hues, suggesting a blanket or perhaps a natural setting. Her pose is relaxed and sensual, with her body turned slightly away from the viewer. Her head rests on her hand, and her gaze seems lost in thought. The background features loose brushstrokes of green and brown, hinting at foliage or a landscape. Renoir's signature Impressionistic style is evident in the soft, diffused light and the use of visible brushstrokes, which contribute to the painting's overall sense of immediacy and intimacy.
