Standing Nude with Flowers is a 1922 watercolor by Oskar Kokoschka, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a standing nude woman holding a bouquet of flowers. The woman has long red hair and is positioned in the center of the composition, with her body facing forward and her head turned slightly to the left. She is holding the flowers in her right hand, and her left arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her hip. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color, with some darker shadows visible behind the woman. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the woman's figure and the flowers being the main focus of the composition. The painting is a beautiful example of Kokoschka's work, and it can be seen in person at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
