Ignudi, a decorative athletic nude or an opportunity to express the unconscious.
Powerful and assertive brush strokes are well represented in this large image. Diagonals and dots in magenta, a color that was unknown until the the mid-nineteenth century are opposing the figure's look of the 15th century, bringing the image to the contemporary.
