This painting features a nude woman sitting on the ground, her body turned to the right. Her left arm is bent, and her right arm is extended, with her hand resting on her right knee. The woman's face is blurred, and her body is depicted in a range of earthy tones, from light brown to dark brown. The background is a solid dark color, which helps to highlight the woman's figure. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's body.
