A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a nude woman with medium-light skin tone sitting on a red and white cloth, head bowed and facing right. Her dark hair is pulled into a bun. Centrally positioned, she has her left leg bent and foot on the ground. Dark brown terrain and muted blue forms sit beneath a shadowy sky. Visible brushwork creates a hazy, soft texture across the entire surface.
