In 1911, Morrice shocked the critics with a nude, and he told a friend of his fascination with the French painter Pierre Bonnard, whose recent works he had seen at Galerie Bernheim-Jeune in Paris. Three studies are known of a completely nude young blonde woman seen from the back – recalling nudes by the French painter – as well as this half-dressed frontal Nude with a Feather.
