Portrait of B. as a Nymph. We are in full neo-pagan atmosphere. A very sweet nymph surrounded by the scent of flowers rests drying herself in the sun after a bath in the fresh waters of an Arcadian lake.
Her Olympian gaze is softly lost in the infinite beauty of the nature that surrounds her. Her mouth hints at a light and graceful smile, an involuntary reflection of the sensual and faint enjoyment that pervades her as she harmoniously interpenetrates her own world.
S.B.
