"Reclining Nude" is a painting by the American artist Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1851–1938), known for his tonalist works that often feature ethereal figures set in dreamlike landscapes or interiors. Dewing's "Reclining Nude," created in the late 19th or early 20th century, is a testament to his mastery of the tonalist aesthetic, characterized by its use of muted colors and emphasis on mood and atmosphere.

The painting depicts a solitary female figure, lying in a state of repose, which is a common theme in the history of art, harkening back to classical and Renaissance traditions of depicting the human form. Dewing's interpretation of the reclining nude is notable for its subtle rendering and the soft, diffused light that bathes the subject, creating a sense of tranquility and introspection. The figure's pose and the intimate scale of the work invite the viewer into a private moment, while the indistinct background further abstracts the scene, focusing attention on the form and the delicate interplay of light and shadow.

As a member of the Ten American Painters, Dewing was influential in advocating for the appreciation of beauty and craftsmanship in art, as opposed to the more didactic or narrative styles that were prevalent in American art of the time. "Reclining Nude" exemplifies Dewing's commitment to these principles and his skill in capturing the ephemeral qualities of light and form. The painting is a significant work within Dewing's oeuvre and contributes to the broader context of American art at the turn of the century, bridging the gap between the academic traditions of the past and the evolving modernist sensibilities of the future.

Held in private collections or exhibited in museums, Dewing's "Reclining Nude" continues to be studied and admired for its technical proficiency and its evocative, poetic qualities. As with many of Dewing's works, this painting reflects the influence of Whistler and the Aesthetic Movement, which valued "art for art's sake" and the pursuit of beauty as a primary goal in artistic expression.
