WNude With Dressing Gown is a 1967 painting by Australian artist John Brack. The painting depicts a nude woman putting on a dressing gown. Unusually for a Brack nude, the painting is a not a formal sitting; instead the subject is "caught ... in a more private moment as she modestly dons a gown".If his subject was not glowing with an almost fluorescent, irradiated green, this would be one of Brack's most sensual pictures. His model is lithe, adorned with a fashionable 1960s-style bob. She is far from Rubenesque, but the twist of hip is distinctly feminine. ... But any sensuality is counterbalanced by Brack's garish colouration.
