A robeor a wrap of plum-colored lining is spread upon theground in the kindly, transparent shade of unseen,suggested trees, through whose foliage the sunlight pen-etrates in fleeting dashes, dappling ground and fabricsand the supple flesh exposed to its inquisitive rays.With a white pillow under her head and a small parasolback of it, the object of the painting lies at full lengthupon the ground, on the robe.
