After The Bath

The bath is over. Draped in a thin transparent sheet with golden border, not so much a device for covering her form as for discovering it and rendering it more enticing, the young damsel is wringing her hair drop by drop. Suddenly her attention is drawn to a pair of penetrating eyes full of greed surveying her beauty from across the window above and across the lone piece of textile that she is wearing. Dismayed she looks back. The appreciation of her beauty in those eyes conquers her and with colours of amour in them she fixes her eyes into those above. In facial features, expressiveness of eyes and modeling of body's upper part the painting is superb, though the anatomy of the lower, especially feet, part is not so perfect.
