Reclining Nude

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a figure lying down on their back, with one arm extended towards the bottom right and legs extended to the left. The face features are simple, with dark hair flowing back. The figure is unclothed, with no identifiable clothing. In the background, there are circular shapes in the upper part of the image, and a relatively blank space below the figure. No objects or jewelry are visible on the person.
