About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on the floor, her legs bent to one side. She's nude, with long hair that falls over her shoulders. The background is dark and indistinct, with some lighter shapes that might be furniture or walls. The woman's face is tilted down, and her eyes are closed. Her body is relaxed, with one arm resting on her knee and the other hanging loose. The overall mood is quiet and contemplative.
