Idyll

In profile at the center, a fair-haired woman with a bare torso balances a small dark bird on her upturned hand. Two more faces peer in from the lower left edge of the canvas, while a slender golden four-legged creature bounds through leaves and blossoms to the right, and thick clusters of decorative flowers crowd the upper half of the composition.

Set against a flat turquoise ground, the palette shifts between powdery pinks, ochre and deep green foliage, with each blossom rendered as a distinct, almost heraldic pattern. Smooth, evenly blended flesh tones contrast with the crisp linear detail of the petals, giving the scene a hushed, dreamlike stillness.
