This painting shows a person lying on a yellow deck chair, fully nude. Behind them is a white dresser with three drawers and two round knobs. The colors are mostly muted—red walls, a grayish floor, and soft browns—except for the bright yellow chair. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the figure a rough, sketchy look. It’s not polished or detailed, almost like a quick study. If you like this bold style, look up impasto.
