A horizontally oriented albumen print depicts a nude woman with light skin tone reclining on a patterned carpet, head resting on a cushion, body extending left. She wears only a beaded belt and sheer white fabric draped across her hips. Her eyes look upward and her right hand rests on her forehead. In the background, a painted scene shows crashing waves beneath a cloudy sky.
