In the context of this artwork, explain the Female figure of the Analysis.
A naked, golden-haired woman lies on a bed at the center of the painting. She has attracted an excited crowd, for whom her body is a spectacle. She has a blank face and appears blinded with her eyeballs clotted, and her open pose suggests vulnerability.Scholars have sometimes seen the painting as a commentary on the political and symbolic role of women. The woman has been compared to the Virgin Mary, a saint, or Venus, evoking other depictions of deified women on an elevated surface. Cézanne may also have drawn on populist ideas about the role of women, referring to the depiction of women in popular prints.The female figure has also been described as an extension of Cézanne's recurring interest in nudity and facelessness.The suggestion of a halo through the canopy over the woman's head has sometimes been seen as an allusion to Saint Anthony's temptress. Alternatively, the woman has been seen as an allusion to Liberty in Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People (1830).
