Jehan Frison (1882-1961) - Nu de dos

Superb and highly important large-scale oil on canvas by the Belgian artist Jehan Frison (1882-1961), a major figure of Brabant Fauvism and the Belgian post-impressionist school. Titled "Nu de dos" (Nude from behind), this rare and intimate artwork depicts a woman at her toilet in front of a mirror. The reflection subtly reveals her face and bust, creating a highly sensitive composition. Painted in 1922, this canvas stands out due to its exceptional and monumental dimensions (84 x 114 cm without frame), a museum-quality size that is particularly rare for this artist. The brushwork is generous, textured, and modern, characteristic of his interwar style in Linkebeek. The back of the canvas offers perfect provenance and traceability: it features the handwritten title, the location (Linkebeek), the date 1922, and the artist's monogram stamp (JF). The artwork is sold in its original gilded wood frame (showing a beautiful patina and minor chips). A rare opportunity to acquire such a large and authentic masterpiece of Belgian modernist art.
