The artwork, titled “Portrait of Doris Trautman,” was created by the artist Robert Henri in 1928. This piece belongs to the American Realism art movement and falls under the genre of nude painting (nu).
Depicted in the artwork is a female figure, portrayed with a serene yet pensive expression, typical of Henri’s ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The figure, set against a dark and soft backdrop, exudes a sense of both vulnerability and strength. The subtle play of light and shadow on the subject’s skin highlights the artist’s skill in rendering the human form with delicate gradations. The warm hues and the relaxed pose contribute to the intimate and contemplative mood of the painting.
