Nude paintings are all about style, with each painting having a different style and meaning.
Nude artists often go for an abstract, minimalist look, while some also have elaborate paintings in which the colours, patterns and lines can create a sense of space.
Here are some of the top nude paintings on the market today.

A portrait of an angel, with white-painted flowers, white hair and a black dress.
In 2014, the Metropolitan Museum of Art sold the painting “A Lover’s Desire”, which was part of a collection of “non-traditional” artworks created in the 1950s.
The painting, which was sold for £100,000, was the only one of its kind in the Metropolitan’s collection.

“It’s very interesting that this woman is a writer, she’s an activist, she knows how to express herself and I think this is very powerful,” he told the BBC.
“She has a lot of things going on in her life.
I think that she’s a very complex woman and I like that.”
He said he had also been approached by collectors who wanted to see the work.
