Woman Lying in Bed is a 1896 oil by József Rippl-Rónai, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
The painting depicts a woman reclining in bed, her head resting on her right hand. She is dressed in a white nightgown, and her dark hair is pulled back. The bed is positioned against a wall, with a small table beside it holding a candle and a bowl. The room is dimly lit, with shadows cast across the walls. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and intimacy in the scene. The woman's pose conveys a sense of relaxation and contemplation.
