Description from the seller
Michel Pinel (1949–2022) France
Beauty Unveiled 2007

30 × 24 cm
Edition: H.S. (Special Issue)
Handwritten signature of the photographer on the back.
Provenance
The artist's studio
Description
This photograph offers a black-and-white portrait of a woman, cropped at mid-torso, where the model's gaze asserts itself with a direct and silent presence. The frontal nature of the pose, combined with a slight tilt of the head, establishes an immediate connection with the observer, based on a subtle tension between confidence and restraint. The face, partially framed by soft and natural hair, becomes the emotional anchor of the composition.
Light, soft yet precisely directed, reveals the volumes of the face and body without excessive drama. The tonal transitions, rich and nuanced, highlight the texture of the skin and the delicacy of the features, while the dark, undefined background isolates the figure, reinforcing the intimacy of the moment. The choice of black and white emphasizes this timelessness and lends the whole scene an understated elegance, devoid of superfluous effects.
Through its direct approach to the female body, treated without artifice or ostentatious posture, Beauty Unveiled is part of a photographic tradition in which nudity is seen as a formal and expressive language. The image prioritizes the precision of the framing, mastery of light, and balance of composition, inviting a contemplative and respectful reading of the figure depicted.
Ultimately, this work is distinguished by its capacity to fuse apparent simplicity with visual depth, offering a portrait that is at once intimate and controlled, where beauty unfolds in the precision of the gaze and the sobriety of the photographic apparatus.

Excellent condition.
Baryta print well preserved, with no creases, tears or visible alterations.
