The artwork, named “Reclining Female Nude (Mileva Roller),” was executed by Koloman Moser in 1912 in Austria. It falls under the Symbolism art movement and is categorized as a sketch and study piece. The dimensions of the artwork are 52 x 55 cm.
In this artwork, Koloman Moser portrays a nude female figure reclining on her back. The subject’s form is delicately rendered with soft pencil lines, emphasizing the contours and natural curves of the female body. She rests upon a cushioned surface, her head slightly tilted back, projecting an air of serene relaxation. Moser’s subtle shading accentuates the anatomical details, while the simplicity of the lines captures both the grace and tranquility of the scene. The sketch, though minimalistic in execution, is rich in expression and aligns with the Symbolist inclination to evoke deeper emotional and symbolic meanings through art.
