Nude, William Frederick Foster (1883 - 1953)

Creator: William Frederick Foster
Offered by: MJH Design Arts

Description
This is a charming Post-Impressionist painting of a young woman caught in an intimate moment of brushing her hair. William Foster's (1883-1953) expert display of light on his young subject gives life to the painting. Her skin appears touchable, as if the child were alive. This is a small painting with the ability to pull the viewer into the scene. The painting is well-frame in a wide gold-leafed frame. This is the perfect painting for a lady's office, boudoir or bedroom.
