William Etty
Early 19th C. English painter William Etty called this one "Nude in the Attitude of an Archer."
Perhaps that was because he didn't get around to paintind a bow or arrow.
Hmmm, he looks frightened or worried about something. Insecure.
ReplyDeleteIt's in his eyes.
DeleteEyes are quite telling here. Great piece.
DeleteAs with all Etty's, one is hit by the emotional impact. His slight, muscular body for us to inspect, and admire.
ReplyDeleteI've long been an admirer of Etty's work.
