Instead of the smooth finish that lends French nudes their remote idealism, this figure is brushed with ruddy reflections of the walls, giving her flesh a sensuous realism, and suggesting Paxton's attraction to Impressionism.

A transitional work, this nude predates most of the elegant interior scenes for which Paxton and his Boston School colleagues are best known.
