"A Reclining Female Nude" is a painting by the English artist William Etty, known for his depictions of nudes and history paintings. Born in York in 1787, Etty became one of the most prominent painters of the British Romantic movement, and his works were characterized by their rich color and sensuality. Although the exact date of creation for "A Reclining Female Nude" is not well-documented, it is likely from the early to mid-19th century, a period when Etty was most active and prolific in his career.

The painting features a female figure lying down in a relaxed, reclined position, which is a common theme in Western art history, echoing the traditional "odalisque" poses found in the works of Titian and other Renaissance artists, as well as later in the works of 19th-century artists such as Ingres. Etty's treatment of the nude is notable for its realistic portrayal of the human form and the sensual, almost tactile quality of the flesh, which was a subject of both admiration and controversy during his lifetime.

Etty's commitment to life drawing and the study of the human figure is evident in the anatomical accuracy and the play of light and shadow across the body in "A Reclining Female Nude." The painting's composition, use of color, and brushwork reflect Etty's academic training and his admiration for the Old Masters, while also showcasing his individual artistic style.

The work is part of Etty's broader oeuvre, which often engaged with themes of beauty, eroticism, and morality, and reflects the complex attitudes towards nudity and sensuality in the Victorian era. While Etty's nudes were sometimes criticized for their explicitness, they were also defended for their artistic merit and classical inspiration.

"A Reclining Female Nude" is an example of Etty's skill in rendering the human form and his contribution to the tradition of the nude in art. The painting would be of interest to scholars studying the history of British art, the Romantic movement, and the representation of the female form in the visual arts. As with many of Etty's works, the painting is likely held in a museum or private collection, contributing to the understanding of 19th-century British painting and the cultural context in which it was created.
