The image shows a full-length figure of a nude woman standing on a grassy landscape. She is in a contrapposto pose, balancing on a human skull. The woman's face has a calm expression, with prominent cheekbones and a slightly pursed mouth. Her long, wavy hair cascades down her back. She holds an object in her right hand and gestures with her left hand, which is draped with fabric. In the background, there is an engraving of trees, hills, and a distant village or castle under a cloudy sky. The landscape is detailed with rolling hills and foliage.
