Broad brush strokes in this classical painting attest to the artist's mastery of the female figure. The generous curves of the figure are in perfect harmony with her lush surroundings. The same wispy shadows of the trees on the far bank trace the languid figure's thigh and arm. Writhing tree roots, swaying lakeside grasses, and rushing lake waters contrast deliciously with the figure's calm repose. A sprinkling of jewel-toned colors - emerald, ruby, amethyst, and lapis - infuses the canvas with a richness characteristic of this artist's work.
