About the piece
Painted in 1905 by New Zealand artist Dorothy Kate Richmond, 'Purple and Bronze' is a masterful exploration of light and form. The work features a rich, impressionistic treatment of a nude figure leaning over a sunlit ground, beautifully balanced by the deep violet hues of a seated companion. The luminous skin tones and confident brushwork exemplify Richmond’s sophisticated approach to figure studies.
