Nude female figure holding a bowl of fruit among green leaves beside a pale pond, in a soft, misty color print.

Spring, Nude Figure in a Garden by Newton A. Wells

A nude young woman stands barefoot among leafy green foliage, holding a bowl of small fruits or blossoms at her waist while looking downward. Soft, muted greens and yellows fill the composition, with a pale pond or sky glimpsed behind the trees. The image appears to be a color print with a delicate, misty finish.
