Vincent van Gogh: Reclining Nude (Femme nue étendue sur un lit), Vincent van Gogh, January–March 1887, Oil on canvas, Van Gogh painted very few nudes. Because he was so poor, hiring models was usually out of the question. In this work, the female body is presented as a curious mixture of alluring and revolting. Curvy hips and closed eyes are traditional signs of sensuality, but the exposed body hair and coarse facial features certainly went against 19th-century conventions of beauty., Overall (oval): 23 1/2 x 29 in. (59.7 x 73.7 cm).
