No. 167 NUDE BY ALFRED MOHRBUTTER Alfred Mohrbutter German : Contemporary 167—NUDE (Pastel) r-X Height, 40 inches; width, 31 inrhes Full-length figure of a plump, almost stout, young woman who has paused on her way to or from her bath, and seating herself on a rush-bottomed chair or stool has taken up a cup or other similar object, which she is examining intently. She faces the spectator, with her pretty face bent over the cup, and is nude. Her discarded white drapery cushions her chair, and behind her a white coverlet falls over the arching foot of a bed. A soft light concentrated upon her figure scarcely penetrates to the dim walls of the room, which yield a dark background with colorful suggestions in low, rich tones. Signed at the lower left, Mohrbutter. Purchased at the Grosse Berliner Kunst Ausstellung, Berlin, 1912.
