The image shows a full-length view of a nude woman standing. She is positioned in a slight contrapposto, with her right arm extended to the side and her left hand holding a small round object by her shoulder. The woman has long, flowing hair with gentle waves that cascade down her back, and her facial features are rendered in a classical style with a calm expression. She is surrounded by a landscape that includes a large tree with twisted roots to her left, from which a snake is emerging. In the background, to the right, there is a rugged rocky formation and a bull with prominent horns feeding on the ground.
