Danae II

1972

A painting depicting two individuals in an intimate indoor setting. The person on the left is reclining nude on a colorful quilt, propped up by pillows against a wall, with a relaxed posture and a contemplative expression. The person on the right, dressed in a green shirt, is seated on a blue chair, leaning forward with one hand on the reclining person's leg, appearing engaged in conversation. The room is warmly lit, casting shadows on the orange wall, and there's a hanging plant in the upper right corner.
