A large-scale painting depicts a figure in a relaxed, reclining pose against a warm peachy-orange background. The composition uses bold, curved shapes and a limited color palette of deep purple, coral red, gray, and black. The figure appears to be lounging casually, with flowing, organic forms making up their body. A bright red circular shape frames the head area, while the body is rendered in sweeping curves of purple and gray. The pose suggests a sense of languid movement, reflecting the "writhing" referenced in the title, though the overall mood remains casual and at ease. The painting is displayed in a minimalist gallery space above a patchwork upholstered bench that echoes the artwork's color scheme.
