About the piece

Created in 1909, this expressive work by Raoul Dufy captures the artist's early engagement with Fauvism. The seated figure is defined by bold, rhythmic brushstrokes and a warm palette of ochres and yellows, set against the atmospheric cool blues and greens of the surrounding textiles.
