Seated Nude with a Cigarette is a 1892 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman sitting on a chair, with her right arm raised and her hand holding a cigarette. She is nude, with her left arm resting on her lap. The background of the painting is a light color, which contrasts with the darker tones used to depict the woman's body. The woman's facial expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed downward. Her hair is styled in a short, curly fashion, and she appears to be lost in thought. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artist Besnard, Albert.
Paul-Albert Besnard (1849–1934) was a French artist, born in 7th arrondissement of Paris.
