About the piece
Painted in 1863, this work by Gustave Courbet exemplifies the artist's Realist style through its unidealized yet luminous treatment of the female form. The subject stands against a dense, atmospheric backdrop of leaves, holding a delicate flowering branch that provides a soft contrast to the deep, earthy tones of the composition.
