The artwork features a depiction of a woman, who is seated and unclothed, draped with a sheer fabric that partially covers her body. She is situated in an opulent setting, adorned with vibrant, blooming flowers in vase arrangements. The background showcases an intricately designed chair and a warm, soft glow enveloping the scene, further enriching the intimate and serene atmosphere. Utilizing deft brushstrokes and a subtle color palette, Augustus John captures both the inherent beauty and poise of the subject, emblematic of the Post-Impressionist style.
