Le dos is a 1923 oil by André Derain, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Musée d'art moderne de Paris.
This painting shows a person's back, with their head turned slightly to the right. The person has dark hair pulled back, and their skin is a warm, golden brown. The background is a mottled mix of dark colors. The painting's style is loose and expressive, with visible brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the play of light on the subject's skin. The overall effect is one of quiet intimacy, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment.
