About this work

This painting shows a woman lying down with her head resting on one arm. She’s wearing a loose, light-colored cloth draped over her body. The background looks like a rough, textured rock or curtain with warm, faded colors. The way the light hits her skin and the dark background makes her look soft and three-dimensional. The artist used smooth brushstrokes to create this effect. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
