Nu Allongée
Antique French Original Oil Portrait Painting: A modern large-scale nude signed by André Émile Planson (1898-1981). This impressive nude demonstrates the artist's technical mastery. Planson is generous with his medium, creating dimension and depth to this work in oil paint. With bold lines and warm colors, the work is presented nicely with a black and gold frame.
