| Description |
This solid female figure rests her hands at her
stomach, which directs our attention to the
navel, perhaps emphasizing fertility. Along with
her swollen stomach, her voluptuous hips depict
the concept of fertility, as well. Her head is set
directly upon her broad, rounded shoulders,
which are characteristic of this period. Her face is
round with an open, wide mouth, large nose and
elongated eyes that gaze forward at us. She
appears uninhibited in her nudity and doesn't
mind our focus on her at all. Her coiffure is
meticulously pulled back off her forehead and at
one time she wore earspools. To her own
satisfaction and ease, she stands before us with
eternal confidence, radiating her womanhood in
this lustrous reddish-orange slip.
