A depiction and celebration of the beauty of the female body. A slave-courtesan in Ancient Rome from Britannia stands by a roaring fire in a lavishly decorated room. Her athletic, well-defined body is partially covered by a rich, velvet tunic of dark blue, which drapes provocatively over her hips and thighs. The tunic’s deep neckline and open sides emphasize her sleek figure while teasing with glimpses of her skin. Painting technique: metallic paints, with strong, vibrant colors, sharp contours, and shining effects; play with light and shadows.
