About the Item

Aptly titled "Reclining Nude", this richly textured painting, reminiscent of Fauvism, features intense saturated colors, expressive brushwork, and simplified forms. A nude woman, who may be Asian because of the way her dark hair is pulled back, lies in a recumbent position on a bed adorned with sheets and a pillow, with a red wall in the background, and a brown door in the top right corner. Amid the shifting tones, the viewer can discern the outline of a reclining woman whose expression carries a quiet sadness. Her form suggests the aftermath of childbirth, with the rounded shape of a baby’s head resting on her belly, the rest of the body veiled beneath a covering. The woman’s gaze seems turned inward, marked by a sense of exhaustion and tears, conveying both intimacy and solitude. Her reclined posture, a pose long familiar in painting, here takes on an original dimension: rather than presenting herself as an object of sensual display, she appears wholly centered on her own experience and on her child, unaware of painter or viewer. The result is a poignant reworking of a classical motif—an exploration of maternal vulnerability, interiority, and the quiet gravity of lived experience, distilled through abstraction. Dated in 1999, the signature is illegible, this unique piece is accentuated by a delicately gilded and striped wooden frame.
