About this work

This painting depicts a nude woman standing in a lush garden, surrounded by foliage and flowers. She has fair skin and short, light-brown hair. Her right arm is raised, and her left arm is crossed over her body. The background is dark, with only glimpses of greenery visible. The woman's pose and expression suggest a sense of calm and serenity. Her body is relaxed, with her weight shifted onto one leg. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the subtleties of the woman's skin and the textures of the plants around her. The painting is held at the National Museum of Fine Arts Buenos Aires.
