"Halfnaakt Met Boek" (Semi-Nude with Book) is a painting by Belgian artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, whose work is often associated with the academicism of the 19th century. Gérôme, known for his historical and Orientalist themes, also explored the human figure, as seen in this work. The painting depicts a partially draped female figure holding a book, a subject that suggests the intersection of intellectual pursuit and classical beauty. The composition, lighting, and execution of the painting reflect Gérôme's meticulous technique and his fascination with the play of textures and flesh tones.

As an artist, Gérôme was celebrated for his attention to detail and his ability to render scenes with photographic realism. "Halfnaakt Met Boek" is an example of his skill in portraying the human form with a sense of idealization, rooted in the traditions of neoclassicism. The painting may also be seen as a commentary on the role of women in society, as it juxtaposes the sensuality of the female body with the symbol of knowledge and learning represented by the book.

The artwork is part of Gérôme's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the academic art movement and influenced the perception of figurative painting during his time. "Halfnaakt Met Boek" is significant for its representation of the female form, its embodiment of 19th-century academic artistic values, and its potential engagement with the themes of knowledge and femininity. The painting is a testament to Gérôme's legacy as a painter who bridged the gap between traditional academic art and the emerging movements that would challenge its precepts at the turn of the century.
