About the piece

Painted in 1906, André Derain's 'Woman in a Chemise' is a quintessential example of Fauvism, a movement characterized by the rejection of traditional perspective in favor of intense, emotional color. This work captures the energy of the early 20th-century avant-garde, using striking auburn hair and simplified features to create a dynamic presence that commands attention in any room.
