Nu au fauteuil is a 1900 oil by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a red chair, her back to the viewer. She is nude, with a white cloth draped over her lap. Her dark hair is pulled back, and her right arm is raised, holding a white cloth. The background is a mix of greens and browns, with some blue visible on the left side. The woman's body is depicted in soft, gentle curves, with the light source coming from the right side of the painting. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The overall mood is one of quiet intimacy. If you're interested in exploring more works like this, check out the artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
