Girl on a Couch (Mädchen auf dem Kanapee) is a 1922 ink by Otto Mueller, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting features a woman reclining on a couch, her body partially covered by a blanket. Her face is turned towards the viewer, with her eyes closed and her head tilted slightly to one side. The background of the painting is dark, with the woman's body and the couch standing out in contrast. The woman's pose suggests a sense of relaxation and intimacy, as if she is lost in thought or asleep. The artist's use of bold lines and dark colors adds to the sense of drama and emotion in the painting. The artist's use of lithography to create this piece is notable, as it allows for a high level of detail and texture.
