Reclining Nude is a 1917 oil by Amedeo Modigliani, depicting Mons Pubis, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a nude woman lying on her back, with her head resting on her right arm. Her body is depicted in a relaxed pose, with her legs slightly bent and her left arm stretched out beside her. The background of the painting is a warm, earthy color, which complements the soft, golden tones of the woman's skin. The artist's use of bold lines and simplified forms gives the painting a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The woman's face is serene and peaceful, with her eyes closed as if lost in thought.
