About this work

A woman lies on her side, her body half-covered by a draped cloth. Her hair spills down her back, and one arm rests under her head. The background is a loose, watery mix of blues and greys, like sky over water. The brushstrokes are soft and blended, giving the skin a smooth look. The artist used watercolor, letting the paint stay light and airy. Look up Robinson, Charles next to see more of his work.
