"Catherine Nue S'essuyant La Jambe" (Catherine Nude Wiping Her Leg) is a notable painting by the French artist Suzanne Valadon, created in 1920. Valadon, who was an accomplished painter and the mother of artist Maurice Utrillo, was known for her bold, expressive works and her unique perspective on female nudes, which she portrayed with a sense of realism and personal insight that challenged the traditional male gaze prevalent in the art of her time.

The painting depicts Valadon's own daughter, Marie-Clémentine Valadon, known as Maurice Utrillo's half-sister, who often went by the name Catherine. In this intimate scene, Catherine is captured in a candid moment of personal care, as she wipes her leg with a cloth. The work is remarkable for its unidealized representation of the female form, showcasing Valadon's commitment to depicting the natural and unvarnished beauty of women.

Valadon's technique in "Catherine Nue S'essuyant La Jambe" is characterized by strong, confident brushstrokes and a rich color palette that emphasizes the warmth and texture of the skin. The composition eschews the eroticism often associated with female nudes in favor of a more honest and empathetic portrayal, reflecting the artist's feminist sensibilities and her defiance of societal norms.

As a prominent female artist in the early 20th century, Suzanne Valadon broke barriers in the male-dominated art world, and her work has been celebrated for its pioneering role in the representation of women in art. "Catherine Nue S'essuyant La Jambe" is a prime example of Valadon's mastery of form and her contribution to the evolving narrative of the female experience in visual art. The painting is held in high regard and is often cited in discussions of Valadon's oeuvre as an illustration of her skill and her progressive approach to subject matter.
