Bulgarian painter Jules Pascin painted this sensual back view of Venus in 1924. The oil on canvas (81 × 54 cm) shows his characteristic soft brushwork and delicate rendering of the female form.
Pascin was known for his figure paintings of women with their distinctive pearlescent flesh tones and sensitive handling.
