Lady Laying Down on Pillow is an evocative original mixed-media drawing by renowned contemporary artist Adolf Benca, whose work often bridges psychological depth and symbolic storytelling. Executed with a delicate balance of pencil and green-toned shading, the composition portrays a reclining female figure rendered in an ethereal, introspective pose. Surrounding her are minimal, almost dreamlike sketches of trees and organic forms, suggesting a quiet dialogue between the human and natural worlds. Measuring 16 by 22 inches (22 by 22 inches with mat), this hand-signed piece, created in 1975, captures Benca’s early mastery of line, mood, and surreal atmosphere. Valued at $2,800, it stands as a striking example of his poetic and introspective figurative art.
