About this work

This painting shows a woman lying down, half-naked with one arm stretched out. Her legs are bent, and she’s holding a cloth over her lap. Next to her is a small table with a few peaches on a plate. The background is bright yellow, and the brushstrokes are thick and uneven. The woman’s pose is relaxed, almost casual, but the painting feels loose and quick. The colors are bold—yellows, greens, and earthy tones—with rough patches of paint. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
