Physical Description
A framed painting of a nude woman posed as if reclining against rocks in a small stream. The landscape she is in looks like a mountain valley; on either side of the painting are tall cliffs that come together as a river valley in the middle. The sky is dark and full of dark clouds, but in the distance rays of sunlight break through them to illuminate the distant cliffs and river.
