Francesco Hayez
Odalisque
This posing nude, probably studied from life and characterized from a stylistic point of view by the suggestive solution of the relationship between finished and unfinished, must be compared to a series of similar figures that we find in the latest production of the painter who, now retired from teaching at the Brera Academy and from his commitments to historical painting, he dedicated himself to portraits and this type of research on the female nude.
