In the background, other women are shown, some of whom are also nude, while others wear clothing. The scene is set in a natural landscape, with trees and hills visible in the distance. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and green dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility, despite the surprise and modesty of the foreground figure.
