A nude female figure seated cross-legged in a small gondola, which is sailing through a classical landscape with trees and fluted stone columns. She sits in the boat leaning over to the left, resting her head on her right arm, with her long dark hair flowing over her right shoulder. She looks across to the right, draping herself with red, blue and white, wild flowers from a large bunch in her lap, her lap covered in a transparent drapery. The flowers in her lap rest on red drapery which lines the inside of the boat, a section of which has fallen into the water at the rear of the vessel.
