The beautiful naked female figure appears to take an outdoor bath, the arms crossed on her eye level seem to have just been bared by her dress resting on the ground next to her. The scene seems to communicates a moment of intimacy and shyness with a particular attention to details represented by the decorated pitcher and the typical Italian colonial army.
