Detailed description

A full-figure female nude stands in front of a rocky-vegetation background, gripping the edge of the background with her left hand, holding a pink/red bouquet in her right. The body is slightly contrapposto, with the right leg stepping forward and the left knee loosely bent. The skin tone is built with warm ochres and rosy highlights, modeled with greenish-brown shadows. The background is dense, almost decorative, with green and earth-toned spots, loose, twisted brush strokes; the green fabric (veil/drapery) undulates at the left edge and at the feet of the figure. The light comes from the upper left direction, enhancing the body's plasticity with highlights on the shoulder, hip, and thigh. The bouquet serves as a color accent. The composition is vertical, an academically styled nude with a slight Art Nouveau sensitivity, set in nature, with a gentle symbolic undertone (spring/fertility). The frame is richly gilded with a twisted edge. Style direction: academic naturalism with Art Nouveau influence. Likely decade: 1900-1910/early 1920s.
