Eurydice naked standing on a rock, her arms raised to the right

A nude woman with long, flowing hair turns her head and raises both arms toward the upper right, standing on a rocky outcrop. Fine parallel hatching models her body and the craggy stone behind her within an oval field. The record identifies her as Eurydice, and the pose and setting are consistent with that scene.

Look closer: Faint sky and cloud shapes fill the upper left behind the rocks, and the oval edge is slightly uneven.
