Girl in Swimsuit

Canvas, oil, realism with decorative elements. The painting depicts a rear view: dark skin, brightly highlighted against a contrasting background. The figure is tying a light blue swimsuit at the back. The figure is framed by a rich, ornate background with blue, turquoise, and red elements, generously covered with gold leaf and mosaic or oriental ornamentation. The realistic depiction of light on the body contrasts with the flat, patterned background.
