Frank also had a passion for capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the human form. In 1959, he began to paint this rare masterpiece – a nude woman standing in a sensual, yet innocent pose against a stark black background. He delicately blended shades of soft skin tones and warm browns to accentuate the woman's skin, slowly unveiling her curves with every stroke of his brush. He wanted to convey her grace and vulnerability, the rawness of her emotions, and the strength that lay beneath her fragile appearance. Experiencing this painting in person, one is in awe of the woman's sensual innocence and the delicate beauty that emanates from the canvas. Some feel a connection with the vulnerability portrayed in her face, while others marvel at the strength embodied in her figure.
