"draw me like one of your French girls" pose.
Fitz_cuniculus
Reclining/ Laying down.

The general term for being horizontal on a surface like that? Lying down. With the hands behind the head, straight chillin'? Reclining.

another that others haven’t said is “lounging” 🫦

Reclining. Reclining with your hands behind your head. Reclining propped on one elbow. "Reclining" implies that you are lying on a slope or with upper body propped up in some way, rather than "lying down" which implies lying flat.

Reclining. Relaxing. Kicking back. Or, maybe the head is facing us, and Mr. stick man is being seductive. Most laying down poses don't really have English names in common use. Native speakers say which of the four primary sides the person is laying on (back, sides, chest), followed by descriptors of what other limbs are doing. Such as, laying on his back, hands behind his head. Or, laying on his side, one arm propping up his head.

lounging, particularly for the top one, though you kind of specifically have to be on furniture to lounge. Otherwise reclining. Lying/laying down would work but you would probably describe how they lying specifically

Reclining I believe

In art, probably a "repose" (which covers a lot of 'relaxed' positions). In every day situations, probably reclining.

"Reclining" or "in a reclined position" is probably the most common name of that particular pose. Could also be "recumbent" or "lying recumbent," but that's a very unusual term.

If it’s art and it’s a naked woman: odalisque.
Fuhrankie
Lying down is called 'recumbent'. You can add details of the recumbency like 'recumbent with hands behind head' 'recumbent on back' etc

I think supine is best for first one
