Detailed Description
A nude woman is seen from behind, standing in a richly colored interior. Her back is to the viewer, revealing her light-toned skin with subtle blue and green undertones, and her buttocks. Her reddish-brown hair is styled in an updo. She wears tall black boots that reach mid-calf. In her right hand, she holds a long, flowing white cloth that drapes downwards, pooling slightly on the patterned rug beneath her feet. To the left of the woman, a bed or couch is partially visible, covered with white and blue fabrics, and a section of a dark wooden railing with golden accents. To her right, a large mirror reflects a blurred, indistinct image of a figure, possibly her front or side, against a backdrop of deep red drapery. The room features warm, deep reds and browns, appearing as heavy curtains or wallpaper, and a patterned rug in shades of red, brown, and blue covers the floor. The brushstrokes are visible throughout.
