The artwork titled “Nude model” was created by Zinaida Serebriakova in 1941. It belongs to the Art Deco movement and falls under the genre of nude painting, or “nu.”
In the artwork, the subject is depicted in a serene reclining position, partially draped in a soft, white fabric that contrasts with the figure’s natural skin tones. The model’s eyes are closed, and both arms are rested gracefully behind her head, suggesting a state of relaxation and tranquility. The use of light and shadow is masterful, capturing the delicate contours and textures of the human form. The palette consists primarily of muted, yet warm colors, contributing to the overall softness and elegance characteristic of Serebriakova’s work within the Art Deco movement. The meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious composition exemplify the artist’s skill and the era’s artistic sensibilities.
