Nu assis is a 1917 oil by Amedeo Modigliani, depicting Woman, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
The painting features a nude woman with dark hair, sitting on a white cloth. Her body is rendered in a simplified, elongated form, with a subtle smile on her face. The background is a deep red hue. A notable aspect of the painting is the way the artist has used bold lines and flat colors to create a sense of depth and dimensionality. The woman's body is depicted in a relaxed pose, with her legs crossed and her arms resting on her thighs. The painting is reminiscent of the works of Amedeo Modigliani, an Italian artist known for his portraits and nudes.
Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (US: ; Italian: ; 12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the École de Paris who worked mainly in France.
