The artwork, titled “Boudoir scene,” was created by Frantisek Kupka in 1903. Rendered in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified under the genre painting category.
The artwork portrays an intimate moment within a private chamber, often referred to as a boudoir. In this scene, a woman is captured in the act of undressing or preparing to dress, standing partially nude with her back facing the viewer. She wears black stockings and high-heeled shoes, delicately holding a garment. The setting includes a mirror, which reflects part of her figure, adding depth and complexity to the composition. The soft and fluid brushstrokes, characteristic of Art Nouveau, imbue the scene with a sense of elegance and sensuality. The color palette is composed of gentle pastels and muted tones, which enhance the intimate and personal atmosphere of the boudoir.
