À propos de l’œuvre
Femme nue allongée, vue de dos, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Early 1887 · Paris
Naked woman lying down, F329Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A naked woman lies on a bed, seen from behind, her head turned towards the pillow; her red stockings and black hair stand out against the white sheets and warm browns at the back.
Look at the work
A study of the body in a tight interior
The body follows a long, almost horizontal diagonal. The back, hip and legs form a flexible continuity, interrupted by the red stockings and the folded arm.
The skin is modeled in ochres, pinks and muffled greens. The white sheets are streaked with gray and blue, while the brown wall receives long vertical touches.
Painted in Paris in early 1887, this oil on canvas measures 24 × 41 cm. It is cataloged F329/JH1215 and bears the number KM 104.783 at the Kroeller-Müller Museum.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The very horizontal format brings the scene closer to the viewer. Van Gogh is less interested in the idealization of the nude than in the real weight of the body, the folds of the bed and the contrasts of material.
The body fills almost the entire width
This proximity eliminates academic distance and makes the back curve the main axis.
The red stockings structure the foreground
Their warm color marks the feet and gives an entry point to the diagonal of the body.
The sheets are painted like a landscape
Whites, grays and blues overlap in thick touches which give relief to the bed.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The references F329/JH1215, the dimensions and the KM 104.783 inventory precisely identify this small Parisian canvas signed "Vincent".
F329/JH1215
These numbers distinguish the painting from the preparatory drawing F1404 kept at the Van Gogh Museum.
An oil on canvas
Despite its aspect of study, the final work is indeed an oil painting and not a model drawing.
Signed "Vincent"
The signature appears at the bottom right, a detail documented in the work reference.
