Bidspirit auction | Female nude, signed Carlos Belmonte,

Female nude, signed Carlos Belmonte, Spanish School, 20th century - Oil on canvas, Dimensions: 101 x 80 cm. The composition shows a nude female figure seated by a window, whose natural light softly bathes her skin and models the forms with great realism. The woman, adorned with a turquoise necklace and a ribbon around her ankles, adopts an introspective pose that conveys intimacy and contemplation. The artist combines a precise anatomical treatment with a background of material textures that enhance the contrast between the ethereal nature of the figure and the materiality of the painted surface. The chromaticism, based on warm shades of the flesh and cool turquoises in the accessories, underlines the expressive balance of the work. Carlos Belmonte, with a style that combines academicism and contemporary resources, captures the sensuality and visual power of the nude, a classic tradition of Western painting reinterpreted in the 20th century with great technical and expressive sensitivity.
