"Woman in White Stockings" (c.1861) is a provocative and enigmatic painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, a leading figure in the 19th-century Realist movement. This artwork, also known as "Femme aux bas blancs," depicts an anonymous female figure lying on a bed, her body partially draped with a white sheet that leaves her legs and white stockings exposed. The painting is notable for its candid and intimate portrayal of the female form, a characteristic that aligns with Courbet's broader artistic agenda to depict scenes of everyday life with unvarnished truthfulness, challenging the idealized and romanticized representations common in the art of his time.

Courbet's "Woman in White Stockings" is celebrated for its masterful execution, particularly in the rendering of textures and the interplay of light and shadow, which lend the painting a tactile realism. The composition's daring subject matter and perspective were quite progressive for its era, reflecting Courbet's interest in themes of sexuality and the human body that were often considered taboo. This work is part of a series of female nudes that Courbet produced during his career, which were critical in establishing his reputation as a radical artist who frequently defied the conventions of the French art establishment.

The painting's historical and cultural significance extends beyond its aesthetic qualities, as it provides insight into the shifting attitudes towards sexuality and the representation of the female body in art during the 19th century. "Woman in White Stockings" has been the subject of various interpretations, with some viewing it as an objectification of the female form, while others see it as an honest and unidealized celebration of femininity.

Today, "Woman in White Stockings" is regarded as an important work in Courbet's oeuvre and a seminal piece in the history of modern art. It continues to be studied and admired for its boldness, technical skill, and its role in challenging and expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. The painting is held in a private collection, but it has been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries around the world, allowing a wide audience to appreciate Courbet's groundbreaking approach to realism and the nude genre.
