Study of a Nude, or Suzanne Sewing is an 1880 painting made by Paul Gauguin in Paris.

[1][2] The painting depicts a young woman who is arranging a garment in undisguised nakedness.

The scene is set in a bedroom with the woman sitting on an unmade bed against a mauve wall that is decorated with a mandolin and a tapestry.

However, when Gauguin left his family in Copenhagen, the picture was held by her until it was sold in 1892 to the Danish artist, Theodor Philipsen.

[4] In 1920, Philipsen donated the work to the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, and since 1922, it has been in the collection of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.
