A pastel drawing by William Merritt Chase, 'Back of a Nude' presents a nude female figure seated on a stool, her back turned to the viewer. The artist's attention to the subtle gradations of light on the skin creates a soft, luminous effect.
William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) was an American painter known for his contributions to Impressionism and his role as an influential teacher. He often depicted scenes of everyday life, portraits, and still lifes with a focus on light and atmosphere. Chase's work reflects the influence of European art movements, adapted to American subjects and sensibilities. He was a proponent of plein air painting and encouraged his students to observe and capture the fleeting effects of light and colour. 'Back of a Nude' is a pastel drawing that exemplifies Chase's academic training and interest in the human form. The composition presents a nude female figure seated on a small stool, her back turned to the viewer. The artist's attention to the subtle gradations of light on the skin creates a soft, luminous effect. The background is rendered in muted tones of brown and grey, which serve to accentuate the figure's form. The loose, sketch-like quality of the pastel medium adds a sense of immediacy and intimacy to the work.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
