Nude Girl on a Panther Skin

Félix Trutat was a French painter who died too young. He made his debut at the age of 20 with this painting. In it one senses not only that the young painter had perceptions and sensibility in advance of his time, in that he anticipates an almost naturalistic approach, but one recognizes also that the presentation of intimacy is comparable with that in Goya's Maja paintings.
