Nude Reclining beneath Flowers c. 1923

"Nude Reclining beneath Flowers" is a 1923 etching by Czech artist František Drtikol. The piece captures a single, nude figure lying in a darkened space, with a stylized floral motif in the upper right corner. Drtikol was a significant figure in the Art Nouveau movement, and this work reflects his interest in depicting the human form in stylized and decorative ways. The image evokes a sense of mystery and sensuality, with the dark background and minimal detail emphasizing the curves of the body.
