In erotic art, the reclining nude is a very common motif. It is perhaps most famously depicted in The Venus of Urbino and The Great Odalisque. However, the first female reclining nude in European painting is Giorgione's The Sleeping Venus, painted in 1510. It is also one of the first works of art in which the female figure is the only subject of the painting.
