Young Woman Denuded among Cushions by Konstantin Razumov

Imbued with refined sensuality and vivid chromaticism of great beauty, the work entitled “Young Woman Denuded among Cushions” bears witness to the poetic vision of famous artist Konstantin Razumov. This painting belongs to the register of romantic interior scenes where comfort and beauty meet harmoniously. The lush atmosphere of this daybed exudes an immediate impression of luxury, calm, and serenity.

An attractive young woman lies on her stomach along a bed covered in turquoise drapery with silk reflections. Her bare body is dressed only in dark thigh-high stockings, black shoes, and long mesh gloves. Topped with a small dark hat adorned with a pink flower, she extends her arm toward a red jewelry box resting on the sheet. Her fingers touch a white pearl necklace spilling from it. A profusion of cushions in golden, purple, and blue shades enriches the background. The raking light highlights the soft curves of her silhouette.

Konstantin Razumov confirms here all his virtuosity in harmoniously arranging bright shades and working delicately with texture. His ability to render the satiny feel of skin and the sheen of fabrics attests to an accomplished technical mastery of superior artistic quality.
