This female nude was painted while Charles Camoin was staying with Albert Marquet in Saint Tropez. During this trip, the two artists focused on the female model whom they represented in a series of particularly erotic nudes. Inspired by Manet's scandalous "Olympia", they sought to appeal to the viewer through an assumed nudity. Painted in early 1904, the present painting is one of Camoin's earliest nudes, heralding the "free Fauvism" to which he would devote his entire career. Like his contemporaries of the Fauvist movement, Camoin paints here with a lively and rapid brushstroke, the movement is free and the drawing is composed from flat areas of color. However, even if Camoin favors expression through color in her work, she always remains attached to the transcription of the motif and its luminous variations.
