It is said that in life, one is naked, but in art, one is nude, and this adage is exemplified by this work, which features a model that is being painted by an artist who is concealed by the stretched canvas propped on an easel. She is the subject of attention, which she answers back with cool and reserved detachment. She props her arms by the elbow with a certain naturalness of spirit. In profile, her face is illuminated by a strong light, which also reveals the sinuous landscape of her body and affirms her confidence in her own skin.
