The artwork, titled “Reclining Nude,” was created by Zinaida Serebriakova in 1932. This piece belongs to the Art Deco movement and is categorized as a nude painting (nu).
The artwork portrays a serene and intimate scene of a woman in a relaxed reclining position. The female subject is partially draped with a softly colored fabric, accentuating the gentle contours of her form. Her pose, with eyes closed and arm bent to support her head, exudes tranquility and grace. The use of soft pastels and tender strokes adds a dreamlike quality to the composition, while the subtle interplay of light and shadow enhances the depth and dimensionality. The overall effect of Serebriakova’s delicate technique and the composition’s gentle tones is a serene and harmonious visual experience.
