Pair with the similar painting “Vertical Woman” that was made during the same period. Both paintings make subtle use of trompe l’oeil sensibility and the thick fluid paint makes “skin become paint”. (oil on canvas 12×14”)

This figurative painting of a reclining woman captures emotional stillness through refined structure and transitions of light and color on form. Tuck’s modernist approach reduces unnecessary detail, allowing the figure’s presence and interiority to emerge with quiet strength. A psychologically resonant work from the artist’s early mature period. Hanging ready in a real wood floater frame with hardware attached.
