DescriptionA naked woman lies on the ground in a fetal position, facing left. Her knees are drawn up to her chest, exposing large round thighs and buttocks and the sole of one foot. Her eyes are closed and she brings her proper right hand up to her face. In the background on the upper right, five flowers. Oddly, she appears to have a right foot on her proper left leg.Provenance
