The artwork portrays a nude female figure, softly delineated with a gentle palette, primarily in pinks and soft blues. The woman’s face is rendered with stylized features including almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, and red lips. Her long, brown hair falls to one side, contrasting with her fair skin. In her right hand, she holds a stem bearing two delicate red flowers, whose tendrils curve gracefully.
