The image shows a nude woman standing upright with short, wavy hair. Her arms are at her sides, and she has a relaxed posture. She is surrounded by small plants and a tree with blooming flowers. In the background, there is a barren landscape with mountains, a grazing animal, and a luminous, abstract bird-like form.
