Alice Neel

John Perreault
1972

A painting depicting a reclining nude male figure with curly hair and a beard, resting on his side on a draped white cloth. The figure's gaze is directed towards the viewer, and the artist's use of bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colors conveys a sense of immediacy and texture. The background is rendered in soft, muted tones, contrasting with the detailed treatment of the figure's form. The signature and date in the lower left corner indicate the artwork was completed in 1972.
