About this work
A nude woman with auburn hair sits on a coral-pink cloth spread over pale rock, eyes closed and head tilted back as a swan's neck arcs down until its beak meets her lips; the swan's great white wings spread wide, wrapping around her shoulders and lap, while a dense screen of palm fronds and gold-edged leaves fills the background beneath a lavender sky.
Cool violet sky sets off the warm flesh tones and gilded greenery, with thick white impasto used for the feathers; the flattened, patterned foliage gives the surface a decorative, tapestry-like quality, and the closed eyes and languid embrace lend the whole scene a hushed, dreamlike sensuality.
