reclining figure
Prone artistic subject
A reclining figure is a person depicted lying down, typically in sculpture or painting.
The term most often appears in art contexts, especially for works showing the human body in repose: Moore's reclining figures dominate the museum's sculpture garden.
The pose—usually propped on one elbow—has been a staple of Western art since antiquity.
