1801
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ex Libris C. Patel is a 1801 by French 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the painting, a woman is depicted in a relaxed pose, leaning back with her legs crossed. She is nude, with a cloth draped over her head and shoulders. The background is a warm, earthy tone, with visible brushstrokes that add texture to the scene. The woman's body is rendered in soft, gentle curves, with a subtle play of light and shadow on her skin. Her face is serene, with a quiet expression that suggests a sense of calm and contentment. The painting's use of warm colors and soft lighting creates a cozy and intimate atmosphere, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman's peaceful pose.

This sculptor liked to keep sharp tools in the studio and blunt ones in his pocket—his niece recalled finding him absentmindedly whittling a stick while talking philosophy.
