Woman lying down with rose

In this work, the painter transports us to a moment of serenity and contemplation through his study of a reclining woman. The central figure, with her eyes closed and a rose delicately held in her hand, seems immersed in a state of deep relaxation. The choice of warm, pearly tones for the model’s skin contrasts strikingly with the crimson strokes that suggest a background still in progress, revealing the very essence of art in its creation process. The canvas seems to capture the essence of the moment with quick, energetic strokes, as if the artist were striving to immortalize the model’s fleeting pose before she fades away. The ultramarine-blue fabrics that serve as the woman’s bed add a sense of serenity and depth to the composition, creating a visual contrast that invites reflection.
