Brief Description

A woman in a white dress, partially submerged, leans on an ornate urn with plants

Detailed Description

A painting depicts a woman, shown from the waist up, looking directly forward. She has fair skin, rosy cheeks, and dark, curly hair adorned with small white pearls. Her mouth is curved upwards slightly. A white, flowing, off-the-shoulder garment drapes over her left shoulder and arm, revealing her chest, with her right nipple visible. A string of white pearls cascades from her left shoulder across her chest. Her forearms and hands rest on a large, light brown or beige ornate urn, which is partially submerged in dark, rippling water. Her left hand rests over her right hand. To the left of the woman, tall, dark green, blade-like plants rise vertically. The background behind her is a muted, dark gray-brown, transitioning to a lighter, hazy green on the far right. The lighting appears to come from the upper left, illuminating her face and chest.
