Sunlight is a 1925 oil by William Orpen, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting depicts a woman sitting on a chair, her body facing left while her head is turned to the right. She is nude, with her left leg raised and her right leg bent at the knee. The woman's dark hair is pulled back, and she has a bracelet on her right arm. The chair is covered with a white cloth featuring red and blue flowers. A window behind the woman reveals a landscape with trees and a body of water. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and calmness.
