About this work

This painting shows a nude woman, standing with her arms crossed. She is holding a large piece of meat, possibly a pig carcass, against her body. The woman has dark hair and is depicted in a loose, expressive style. The painting is done in watercolor, with soft colors and gentle brushstrokes. The overall effect is one of quiet intimacy, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment.
