Contemporary artwork, created by Horst Ludwig "ALKUHL", Named
Stille Sehnsucht - der heimliche Blick

The watercolor painting in delicate shades of gray and beige shows a scene full of quiet intimacy and tension. In the center of the painting lies a naked woman in peaceful sleep, her posture is relaxed and her face radiates a deep calm. Her right hand rests between her thighs and gently covers her pubic area, which further underlines her expression of protection and innocence. Her body appears soft and harmonious, as if she had completely surrendered to sleep. In the background you can see a man watching the sleeping woman with a quiet, longing look. He stands slightly withdrawn, almost shrouded in shadow, and does not seem to want to disturb the tranquility of the scene. The shading and the soft color choice of the watercolor reinforce the atmosphere of quiet voyeurism and give the scene a subtle tension between closeness and distance.
