Reclining Venus
oil
From the collection of Nationalmuseum
This painting shows a woman reclining on a bed, her body turned to the viewer. She is nude, with her right arm resting on a pillow and her left hand on her thigh. The bed is covered with a white sheet, and there are a few flowers scattered on it. In the background, there is a window with a view of the sea, and a group of people gathered around a table. The room is dimly lit, with the only light coming from the window. The artist uses chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting.
