La friction au gant de crin (Massage with Coarse Hair Glove) is a 1895 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the painting, a nude woman stands with her back to the viewer, her head turned to the right. She is positioned in front of a table or counter, with her right hand resting on it. The woman's body is depicted in a relaxed pose, with her weight shifted onto one leg. The background of the painting is a warm, earthy tone, which complements the woman's skin. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of calmness and serenity. The woman's pose and expression suggest a sense of comfort and relaxation. The painting's use of warm colors and soft lighting adds to the overall feeling of tranquility. For more on the artist behind this work, look up Forain, Jean-Louis.
