This painting shows a woman lying back on a big, orange armchair. She’s wearing a loose, light-colored top but has no shirt underneath. Her legs are bent, and one arm rests on the chair’s armrest. Behind her, a window lets in light, and a vase of yellow flowers sits on the sill. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the colors pop—especially the chair’s bold orange. The light hits her skin and the chair in a way that makes some areas look brighter than others. Check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
