Walter Sickert, Portrait (source: rebeccaharp.com)
Rebecca Harp blogs about German/British painter Walter Sickert.
Harp posts a fantastic image gallery and notes: "I personally think that his nude paintings are his best works, but I have included here below as many as I could find. Following Degas' advice, Sickert painted in the studio, working from drawings and memory as an escape from 'the tyranny of nature.' "
