#13610 Pere Pruna

The drawing presents a reclining female figure occupying most of the compositions space. She is positioned diagonally across the frame, her body angled towards the viewer while her gaze is directed upwards and slightly off-center. The artist has rendered the form with a delicate, almost hesitant line, employing a muted palette dominated by earthy tones – ochre, beige, and pale brown – which contribute to an overall sense of fragility and introspection.
The figures pose suggests relaxation, yet there’s also a subtle tension evident in her posture and facial expression. Her left arm is draped across her torso, while the right arm extends towards the edge of the composition, ending abruptly at the frames boundary. This truncation creates a sense of incompleteness or interruption, hinting at an unfinished thought or a moment suspended in time.
The background appears to be a simple, rectangular plane, devoid of detail and rendered in similar muted tones as the figure itself. A horizontal band of slightly warmer color is visible near the top edge, offering minimal contrast but suggesting a possible source of light or a distant architectural element. The lack of depth and perspective flattens the image, emphasizing the two-dimensionality of the drawing and contributing to its dreamlike quality.
Subtly, there’s an air of melancholy present. The upward gaze of the figure doesnt convey hope or aspiration; rather, it seems lost in contemplation, perhaps reflecting a sense of longing or quiet sadness. The limited color range reinforces this mood, creating an atmosphere of subdued emotion and introspection. The drawing avoids overt sensuality, instead focusing on capturing a psychological state – a moment of private reflection and vulnerability.
