A Nude Woman in a Fur Wrap

About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on a couch, wrapped in a fur. She's looking down, and her dark hair is messy. The couch is dark, and there's a light-colored wall behind her. The woman is wearing only the fur, and her legs are crossed. Her right arm is bent, and her hand is near her face. The couch has a low back, and there's a small table or stool next to it. The painting is done in dark colors, with lots of lines and scratches. It's an etching, which means it was made by scratching a design onto a metal plate and then printing it onto paper.
