Female Nude Reclining (Femme nue couchee)

Auguste Renoir

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person lying on their side, resting on a cushioned surface. The individual is reclined with their head supported by their hand placed under a pillow. The person's facial features include closed eyes, a serene expression, and a softly curved mouth. They have short hair and wear minimal clothing, possibly a draped cloth around the lower body. The background has simple linear strokes suggesting bedding or fabric.
