Behind glass in gilded splendid frame.

A young naked woman in rear view standing in a lake, with both arms holding her reddish hair upwards. In the background the shore and an already autumnally discoloured forest, under a high sky with large white cloud formations and a brightly shining rainbow. Atmospheric painting with harmonious colours. For the well-known artist typical work with bathers, on whose paintings a rainbow is often depicted. (1210049) (1) (18)
