Detailed Description
A nude woman reclines on a grassy bank with a body of water and trees in the background under a cloudy sky. The woman lies on her left side, her head turned slightly towards the viewer, with her eyes closed or downcast. Her pale skin has subtle pinkish undertones. Her right arm is bent, with her hand near her head, while her left arm is extended upwards, her hand appearing to grasp a branch or unseen object. A draped yellow cloth covers her lower body and extends beneath her. Small clusters of light purple flowers are scattered on the brown ground around her. Behind the bank, a dark blue body of water stretches horizontally across the midground. Several slender, bare trees with dark trunks and branches rise from the bank, silhouetted against the muted gray-blue sky, which features lighter, cloud-like patches.
