About the piece
Created in 1915, this delicate watercolor by Charles Demuth is a preparatory study for an illustration of Émile Zola's novel 'Nana'. The work captures an intimate moment in a boudoir, rendered with the luminous washes and sensitive line work that defined Demuth's early career. The interaction between Nana and her friend Satin is portrayed with a characteristic blend of modernist abstraction and narrative intimacy.
