About this work

This painting shows a reclining nude figure lying on a grassy surface. The person’s body is relaxed, with one arm bent behind their head and the other resting on their stomach. The background is a simple, blurred room with a red wall and a dark shape that looks like a curtain or doorway. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the skin and fabric a textured look. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and earthy tones—without sharp details. If you like this style, look up impasto.
