We are pleased to present this early 20th-century oil on panel painting. This splendid nude of a young woman features a red signature on the back that is not perfectly legible, but is believed to be G. Desantis, and the date 1901 (barely legible). It is likely the work of the Italian painter Giuseppe De Sanctis (Naples, June 21, 1858 – Naples, June 18, 1924), without authentic.
This is a captivating painting in which a young woman is portrayed in all her sensuality. The reclining woman is partially covered by a white sheet that reveals her breasts. Her black hair is gathered up, her red lips stand out against her pale complexion—every detail reveals the painter's ability to depict a female nude with extreme poetics and sensitivity. The painterly quality is evident in a highly personal style characterized by bold, textured brushstrokes and a masterful use of light and color. Notice how even the white sheet takes on multiple nuances. Its small size makes it even more captivating.
A wonderful painting that will enchant your guests! If you love early 20th-century art, you absolutely must add this splendid painting to your collection.
The painting is presented in a splendid carved and gilded wooden frame.
