DescriptionThis vertically oriented intimate portrait depicts a nude, brown skinned woman in a bathroom. Her back is turned towards the viewer as she faces a cloudy gray mirror. She stands on a white rug with the majority of her weight on her proper right leg. She holds what appears to be a pink robe across the front of her body with her proper left arm. Her right proper arm hangs at her side. Her brown hair curls just short of her shoulders. To her right is a bathtub over the rim of which is a light pink towel. Above the tub, at the right edge of the composition, a white towel hangs from a towel rack.ProvenanceThe artist, Kansas City, Missouri, 2015;
