One of the artist’s delightful nude paintings; Teuchert’s paintings of beautiful women fetch over €11,000 at auction

This painting by the Hungarian artist Karoly Teuchert features one of his characteristic motifs, depicting a female nude – a beautiful young woman wearing a contemporary cropped bob – posing on draped sheets, with a black cat at her feet. In her hand she holds a red flower that seems to have attracted the kitten’s interest. The chiaroscuro contrast, which the artist skillfully animated with red color accents, Is particularly appealing.
