A Reclining Nude before a Mirror
This conversation is connected to A Reclining Nude before a Mirror.
A nude woman lies facedown on white and pale blue bedsheets, seen from behind, her dark hair gathered at the nape of her neck. She faces away from the viewer, toward a mirror or window framed by vertical red-brown stripes, where a faint reflection of her form is visible. A dark garment is crumpled on the bed behind her. The upper left corner shows a hanging orange textile and a strip of teal. The palette is built on the contrast between warm skin tones and cool lavender-blue sheets, with the red of the background providing depth. The brushwork is loose and vaporous, the sheets are barely more than washes of blue and white, and the figure dissolves into the fabric at the edges. Oil on canvas.
