In this black and white art photograph, a nude female figure reclines against an inclined rock face. Her body mirrors the contour of the natural slope beneath her. She reaches one arm arbitrarily to her side. Her far leg is bent and her straight legs bears her weight. She is clearly at home in the rugged terrain.
Behind her is a waterfall, cooling the rocks with splashes. Her body glows against the dark, rough stone. The wet texture of the boulder suggest a tactile interpretation of the composition.
Her head is turned to the side, her expression is serene and introspective. Curls of sunlit hair frame her face. Light comes from a cloudy sky above and behind her, with shadows forming under her form, nearer the viewer. The wet stone shines above and around her.
This image pays homage to mythological and allegorical nudes in nature, recalling the nymphs of classical art.
The background is a field of rock layers, vaguely divided into a foreground and background at the waterfall, with the darker masses being in the distance. A number of diagonal lines run through the image, including the striations of rock and the primary subject.
