This painting depicts a nude female model sitting on a red cloth. Her left arm is raised above her head, and her right arm is bent across her chest. The background is a mix of green and brown hues. The model's pose suggests a sense of naturalness, as if she is unaware of being observed. Her facial expression is subtle, adding to the overall sense of intimacy in the scene.
