Gustave Courbet: Woman with White Stockings (La Femme aux bas blancs), Gustave Courbet, 1864, Oil on canvas, Traditionally, European painters made the nude subject decorous by presenting it as part of an edifying mythological narrative. Here, Courbet smashes that fiction. The nude is not Venus or Diana, but rather a prostitute preparing for the act. The picture's sexual content is frank: her genitalia is fully exposed, indeed placed exactly at the center of the composition, and there are several clues that hint at the prostitution theme. Clothes seem hastily discarded in the background, and she gazes out seductively at an unseen presence—presumably the client—who seems to stand or sit across from her. The path in front of her is well-worn, perhaps meant metaphorically. The graphic display of genitalia suggests that Courbet made this as a private commission. He painted several such explicitly sexual paintings during the 1860s., Overall: 25 9/16 x 31 7/8 in. (65 x 81 cm).

Traduction automatique: Gustave Courbet : Femme aux bas blancs (La Femme aux bas blancs), Gustave Courbet, 1864, Huile sur toile, Traditionnellement, les peintres européens rendaient le sujet nu décoratif en le présentant comme faisant partie d'un récit mythologique édifiant. Ici, Courbet brise cette fiction. Le nu n'est pas Vénus ou Diane, mais plutôt une prostituée se préparant à l'acte. Le contenu sexuel de l'image est franc : ses organes génitaux sont entièrement exposés, voire placés exactement au centre de la composition, et plusieurs indices font allusion au thème de la prostitution. Les vêtements semblent jetés à la hâte à l'arrière-plan, et elle regarde d'un air séduisant une présence invisible - vraisemblablement le client - qui semble se tenir debout ou assise en face d'elle. Le chemin devant elle est bien tracé, peut-être métaphoriquement. L'affichage graphique des organes génitaux suggère que Courbet a réalisé cette commande privée. Il a peint plusieurs de ces peintures explicitement sexuelles au cours des années 1860. Total : 25 9/16 x 31 7/8 po. (65 x 81 cm)
