About This Work
A reclining nude is set against a lush garden background, her body rendered in the biomorphic, flowing forms of Picasso's Surrealist period. The figure's limbs merge with the surrounding vegetation, creating a sense of organic unity between the human body and the natural world. The palette is rich and warm, with deep greens and golden flesh tones.
Painted at Boisgeloup, Picasso's country estate north of Paris, this work belongs to the series of large-scale nudes that he created during his relationship with Marie-Thérèse Walter. The garden setting reflects the pastoral tranquility of Boisgeloup, which provided a refuge from his increasingly troubled marriage to Olga.
