nude portrait

Bare figure painting

A nude portrait is a work of visual art—typically a painting, photograph, or drawing—depicting a person without clothing.

The genre has a long tradition in Western art, from classical sculptures to Renaissance paintings to modern photography.

The subject may be fully unclothed or partially draped: She posed for a nude portrait.

Distinguished from pornography by artistic intent, though the line is often contested.
