This work is hailed as “The most magnificent nude of the century.” The simplicity of the composition defies the infusion of desire and transgression that abounds in this representative work. “The Beautiful Rafaela” (La Belle Rafaela) is a pivotal work in the career of Tamara de Lempicka, whose talent for representing women came from her enlightened knowledge of the superiority of feminine grace.
