The artwork "Model study i Bonnats studio" by Laurits Tuxen, painted in 1877, shows a nude model in the studio of French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, where Tuxen once studied. The painting is a vivid rendering of a model study, with Tuxen emphasising bodily forms and the play of light and shadow1.
The composition is simple but effective, emphasising the nude figure sitting in a natural pose. The background is austere, which focuses attention entirely on the model. Tuxen uses a rich colour palette and detailed brushstrokes to realistically render the texture of the skin and bodily forms.
This work exemplifies Tuxen's skill in depicting human forms and his influence through his time in France. The painting is an important work in his oeuvre and offers an insight into his artistic development.
Laurits Tuxen (Copenhagen, 9 December 1853 - there, 21 November 1927) was a Danish painter and sculptor. He is associated with Impressionism and was part of the Skag painters.
