Semi-nude woman gracefully skims surface of a pond with toes of her right foot. As she inclines her body to the proper right she gently cups a calla lily with her right hand to inhale its fragrance. Her left arm is aloft, fingers holding the edge of her white diaphanous garment that billows above. In the background, a slight pink tinge on the landscape signals the arrival of dawn.
Two monkeys are depicted. One monkey sits on a tree limb facing the viewer. The second monkey stands on all fours on the ground.
Portrait of a man with long curly hair sitting in an ornate chair. He rests his right arm on a table. A swaged curtain hangs behind him. This portrait is surrounded in the borders by instruments, books, masks, and foliage.
