The painting is titled Liegender Frauenakt (Reclining Female Nude) and was acquired at an auction in Krefeld, Germany, in 2025. According to the auction house, it dates to approximately 1935. It is an oil painting on firm, finely structured linen canvas (not rough or coarse). The technique involves expressive, gestural brushstrokes with visible impasto, especially in the background. The paint is applied thickly in certain areas, creating a textured surface with movement and depth. The composition features a nude female figure in a reclining pose, anatomically natural and framed by dynamic brushwork and color. There is no distortion in the form, and the color palette combines warm and cool tones in a balanced, expressive manner. The style resembles late Post-Impressionism or figurative Expressionism of the 1930s, though it cannot yet be attributed to a specific artist. There is no visible signature. The overall condition is stable. The canvas is original and taut, with signs of age typical for a work of this period. The stretcher and frame are consistent with early 20th-century materials.
