Style and uniqueness of the work
Hammershøi's style is distinguished by a subtle and introspective approach. "Nude Woman Sitting" is characterized by a palette of soft colors and play of light that highlight the texture of the skin and the delicacy of the forms. The artist uses delicate shadows to create an almost ethereal atmosphere, where the woman appears to float between reality and imagination. The choice of format and composition reinforces this impression of lightness. Nudity, far from being provocative, is treated with such sensitivity that it becomes a celebration of human beauty in its purest form. Every detail, from the fold of the drape to the pensive expression of the model, contributes to a silent narration that invites personal interpretation and reflection.
