A man in tuxedo watching a naked woman on her back, who is closing a book on a table in white, beige, ocher and dark brown, on a dark background.
In this artwork, the viewer witnesses the womanizing side of the artist that calls for erotism turning the woman into an object of desire not only for Cuevas (the tuxedo man), but also for the lines on the right side that recalls faces looking at the scene.
