This black and white photograph is an excellent depiction of feminine beauty and portrays a sense of innocence in the subject. This piece has been taken with ample light coming through a well lighted window. The light seems to be natural sunshine which lends a sense of time to the image. One can easily guess the time perhaps early morning sunshine which lends an aura of freshness to this work of nude art.

The subject has been chosen carefully so that the natural curves of the female body can be well accentuated. In the absence of colors, the bathroom design with its well contrasted tiles and objects in the form of carefully placed vines and flowers add contrast to the work. The spacious bathtub has been meticulously prepared for the picture with white foam covering its entirety with a subtle hint of depth where the water is showing. The subject has been carefully positioned within the frame in order to attain the central position. The angular, slanting tiles in the background add to the substance of this piece as well as add contrast along with the flowers. The subject excellently positioned slightly more towards the right so as to accentuate the flowers on the left. Hair of the subject too lends contrast and has been styled carefully in order that the anatomical features are not hidden. Positioning of the head, arms and legs of the subject has been done meticulously which brings out and highlights the perfection of the female figure. The subject’s expression depicts a sense of complacency and innocence without showing the consciousness of being instilled in print forever.

The prominent feature of this work of art is the excellent use of light in accentuating feminine beauty.
