The painting depicts a nude woman reclining on a surface, with her body positioned diagonally across the canvas. Her right arm is bent, and her hand rests on her head, while her left arm is extended downward. The woman's body is rendered in warm, golden tones, with subtle shading that suggests the contours of her figure. In the background, a soft, greenish hue provides a subtle contrast to the woman's warm skin tones. The overall effect is one of quiet intimacy, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment.
