This painting by the French artist Yves Klein (1928-1962) is one of the series he did using "living paintbrushes". He covered nude women models with his signature blue paint (International Klein Blue, IKB) and then in a piece of performance art in front of an audience "painted" with them on large sheets of paper by directing them verbally.
The title "ANT154" is derived from a comment made by an art critic, Pierre Restany, describing the paintings produced as "anthropometries of the blue period". Klein used the acronym ANT as a series title.
