A lithe nude woman leans against a rooftop ornament, the distant scene beyond the railing is obscured in fog. Her figure is reflected in the wet ledge under her and the ridge behind her. She tips her chin upward, with her closed eyes raised to the overcast sky. Her hands are hidden as she leans back against the roof ridge. Her ribcage is pushed forward and she bends at her middle, with one knee bent.
The overall color scheme is muted, neutral colors, with notes of warmth and darks around the body. The misty background takes on a salmon hue, reminiscent of the tones of her body. The dewy stonework and rooftop exhibit the same echos of rosy color.
Strong lines of perspective are apparent in the wall and ledge. The composition is stable and centered on her. Her pose and affect suggests a meditative state.
