Back views of women in art
It has occurred to me during the process of researching this blog that quite a number of realist painters have portrayed women at one time or another from a rear viewpoint � often in a domestic situation. Danish artists like Anna Ancher, Vilhelm Hammersh�i and Carl Hols�e frequently employed this device in their compositions. The female subject may at some small domestic labour, or simply being contemplative, gazing out onto some unseen vista. Here are some examples:
