"Mornington Crescent Nude, Contre-jour" is a notable painting by the British artist Walter Richard Sickert, created around 1907. Sickert, a prominent figure in the Camden Town Group, is renowned for his innovative approach to urban scenes and his exploration of the human form. This particular work exemplifies his fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his commitment to capturing the raw, unembellished reality of his subjects.

The painting depicts a nude female figure, seated in a domestic interior, with light streaming in from a window behind her. The term "contre-jour," which translates from French as "against the light," refers to the technique of positioning the subject with the light source behind them, creating a dramatic silhouette effect. This method allows Sickert to emphasize the contours and textures of the body, while also creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy.

"Mornington Crescent Nude, Contre-jour" is characteristic of Sickert's mature style, which often involved a muted color palette and a focus on the everyday lives of ordinary people. The setting of Mornington Crescent, a district in Camden, London, further grounds the work in a specific urban context, reflecting Sickert's interest in the social and physical environments of the city.

Sickert's approach to the nude was unconventional for his time, eschewing idealization in favor of a more realistic and sometimes stark portrayal. This painting, with its subtle interplay of light and shadow and its candid depiction of the human form, is a testament to Sickert's skill and his unique vision as an artist. It remains an important piece within his oeuvre, illustrating his contributions to the development of modern British art.
