Femme Assise is a 1922 by Aristide Maillol, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting on the floor with her legs bent in front of her. She is wearing no clothes and has her head slightly tilted down. Her body is drawn in simple lines and curves, with no intricate details. The background is plain, which helps focus attention on the woman. The artist has used a limited color palette, with shades of brown and beige dominating the scene. The overall mood is one of calmness and serenity, with the woman appearing relaxed and at ease. The Cleveland Museum of Art is where you can find more works by artists who explore the human form in their art.
