The painting features a nude woman reclining on a red cloth, with her back to the viewer. Her dark hair is pulled up, and she wears a bracelet on her right wrist. The background is a dark, shadowy space. The woman's pose is relaxed, with her legs bent and her arms stretched out to the sides. The red cloth she lies on adds a pop of color to the otherwise muted palette. This painting is a great example of the work of artist William Etty.
