About this work

This painting shows a reclining nude figure lying on a surface. The background is a mix of rough, blocky shapes in red, green, and purple, like buildings or hills. The skin tones are loose and bright, with quick strokes of yellow, pink, and white. The artist used watercolor here, but it’s not smooth—it looks almost sketchy in places, with some colors bleeding into others. The figure’s pose is relaxed, almost lazy, but the background feels busy and uneven. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Thomé, Verner.
