Nude (The Girl with the Coral String) is a 1909 oil by Arthur Coulin, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting depicts a young woman sitting on a bench, naked except for a flowing white cloth draped over her lap. She holds a coral string in her right hand, her gaze directed downward. The background features a blue curtain, with a red wall and an arched doorway visible to the right. The woman's dark hair is pulled back, and her left arm rests on her thigh. Her feet are bare, and she sits on a bench covered with a green cloth and a clay jug. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures, look up Arthur Coulin.
