About this work

The painting shows a woman lying on a bed, surrounded by luxurious fabrics and objects. She is nude, with her left arm resting on a pillow and her right arm hanging down. A servant stands beside her, holding a tray with coins. The woman's body is relaxed, and her face is serene. The servant's expression is also calm, as she looks at the woman. The background of the painting is dark, with a few trees visible through a window. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's body.
