Seated Woman Seen up to the Waist (Femme assise vue à mi-corps)

Aristide Maillol
French, 1861–1944
1927
A 1927 lithograph by Aristide Maillol that simplifies a seated female nude into calm, rounded volumes and spare, brush‑like marks to evoke classical serenity.
The figure appears to float on the pale sheet: soft, velvety black tones and economical contours give a sense of sculpted weight and quiet monumentality against an empty background.
Showing Maillol’s shift from sculpture to print, the work helped translate sculptural ideas—solid, timeless form and restrained composition—into modern two‑dimensional art, influencing later figurative practice.
