Description
Bold, unapologetic, and intimate — "Nude Woman with a Dog" by French Realist master Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) defies 19th-century conventions with raw sensuality and naturalism. Painted between 1861 and 1862, this oil on canvas captures a moment of relaxed intimacy, with a nude woman reclining beside a dog — a symbol of loyalty or domesticity, depending on one’s interpretation. Far from idealized beauty, Courbet’s subject feels palpably real, embodying his radical challenge to academic norms. Acquired in 1979, this work remains a striking testament to Courbet’s fearless exploration of the human form and the everyday.
