About this work
A richly dressed young woman wearing a jeweled crown and an ornate rose-and-gold gown sits astride a white bull that swims through pale turquoise sea water. Around her wheel white swans and colorful long-tailed birds, while fish, shells, and a nautilus float in the foaming water below; a flowing multicolored scarf trails from her raised hand across the dark sky.
Crisp, academic modeling in the figure's face and hands contrasts with a broader, more patterned treatment of drapery and sea foam, the palette setting a near-black night sky against luminous turquoise water and warm rose-and-gold costume tones. The abundance of birds and marine creatures arranged decoratively around the central pair gives the scene a lush, fairy-tale atmosphere.
