A Nymph. A Seated Female Model is a 1886 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a woman sitting on a rock or ledge. She’s barefoot, wearing nothing but a loose top, with one leg bent and the other dangling. The background is dark and blurry, like a shadowy wall or curtain, while her skin glows softly in the light. The way the light hits her skin makes her look almost three-dimensional. The artist focused on simple shapes and natural light, not details. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works in other art.
