"Belle" (Russian: "Красавица", "Krasavitsa"), is a renowned painting by the Russian artist Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev, created in 1920. This work is emblematic of Kustodiev's artistic style, which often combined a rich use of color with a folkloric portrayal of Russian life and an idealized vision of the Russian woman. The painting depicts a voluptuous woman reclining on a terrace, set against a backdrop of a typical Russian town. The scene is bathed in the warm glow of a summer afternoon, which is a characteristic feature of Kustodiev's work, reflecting his fascination with the festive and sensual aspects of Russian provincial life.

The subject of the painting, the "Belle," is an archetype in Kustodiev's oeuvre, representing the artist's celebration of feminine beauty and fertility. She is often interpreted as a symbol of Mother Russia herself, exuding health, wealth, and abundance. The woman's traditional Russian attire and the architectural elements in the background further emphasize the nationalistic sentiments that pervade Kustodiev's work, particularly during the post-revolutionary period when he sought to preserve the cultural imagery of the old Russia that was rapidly changing.

Boris Kustodiev's "Belle" is not only a testament to his technical skill and vibrant palette but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the Russian national identity and the nostalgia for a bygone era. The painting is held in high esteem and is considered one of the masterpieces of early 20th-century Russian art. It remains a popular subject of study for art historians and is frequently exhibited in museums showcasing Russian art from this period.
