About this work

The painting depicts a nude woman reclining on a brown surface, with her head resting on her arm and her legs stretched out. Above her, a dark creature with wings and a long tail appears to be attacking another creature, which is falling to the ground. The background features a dark sky with clouds. The painting's use of dark colors and dramatic lighting creates a sense of tension and drama. The contrast between the calm, serene woman and the chaotic scene above her adds to the overall sense of unease. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Félix Vallotton, who was known for his bold and expressive use of color and composition.
