The inspiration for this painting were love and happiness, softness and tenderness. The shape of this figure is smooth and her soft curves make her look elegant and relaxed. While bathing in a river, the woman is brushing her long, dark hair like she does not have a single care in this world. She knows that we are watching her, but she does not mind. The transparancy in this painting makes her look fragile, human. The thick layers of paint make her look alive.
