About this work

This painting depicts a nude figure reclining on the floor, facing the right side of the canvas. The subject's head is turned to the right, and their eyes are closed. The figure's left arm is bent at the elbow, resting on the floor, while their right arm is extended along their side. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. The figure's pose and the artist's use of light and shadow create a sense of serenity and intimacy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the subtle contours of the figure's body. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Edgar Degas, who was known for his depictions of the human figure in various settings.
