Saville has dedicated her career to traditional figurative oil painting. She mainly focuses on large, naked women and how their body visually looks when when pressed against clear glass. Her painterly style has been compared to that of Lucian Freud and Rubens. Her paintings are usually much larger than life size. They are strongly pigmented and give a highly sensual impression of the surface of the skin as well as the mass of the body.
I think the reclining nude is by Lucien Freud, not Jenny Saville.
