DescriptionThe image is a nude female figure placed lying under a tree within a coastal landscape; the figure lies with her face in profile however the body is slightly turned toward the viewer with the knees pulled up and the figure's left hand resting on her hip. The tree is on the left of the composition but leans to the right to shade the figure with its autumnal leaves. In the background water breaks on a sandy beach.
