Oil painting on canvas framed in a carved and ebonized wood frame with guilloché design, enriched by briar inserts that accentuate its elegance. The painting depicts a half-nude woman lying on a sumptuous sofa. The woman, with a light pink veil covering her legs and lower body, leaves her breasts and waist uncovered. Her playful and seductive gaze is directed towards the viewer and the artist. The woman, resting on her right hand, also has her hair pulled back towards her face, a typical hairstyle of the time. Curtains can be seen in the background. The scene is distinguished by great mastery in the pictorial rendering and by the skillful use of light and shadow. In the lower right corner is the dedication "A Lucas D'Aprèo" and the signature of the artist "Tanoux," a well-known French painter of the Liberty style, famous for his female nudes. The painting is dated around the end of the 19th century.
