La toilette de la courtisane (Bath of the Courtesan) - verso: Femme nue entourée circa 1880 19th Century 5 7/8 in. x 7 1/2 in. (14.92 cm x 19.05 cm) Paul Cézanne (Aix-en-Provence, 1839 - 1906) Primary Object Type: Drawing Medium and Support: watercolor, pencil on paper Credit Line: Arkansas Arts Center Foundation Collection: Purchase. 1994.002 Accession Number: 1994.002 Comments: In this work, we see some debt to the famous Olympia by Edouard Manet from 1863. Manet shocked many Paris viewers by representing a well-known courtesan on her bed, boldly staring at the viewer. In the AAC watercolor, the woman is also stretched out in an elegant languor that brings to mind her ultimately classical origins, the Renaissance painting by Titian.
