A naked woman balancing on one foot. Placed in the centre and facing the front, she is the only figurative element in the work.Naked woman balancing on one foot.
Placed front and centre, she is the only figurative element in the work.
Outlined in white against a cerulean blue background, a naked woman balances with her right leg bent almost horizontally, holding her right foot with her left hand.
Her face is uncovered, turned slightly to the left with her chin down and her gaze resting on her right leg. Her hair is straight and streaked, and it goes around her head from the centre line of her forehead, ending in an elegant wave at the back of her neck. The expression of the face is closed with simple features, a straight, long nose, a short mouth and eyebrow, and prominent pupils. These are some of the similar aspects in works by ‘Almada’ (UA-ML-G-5) and (UA-ML-G-6).
At a right angle, with the forearm down and the fingers open, the right arm serves as a counterbalance to the body's posture.
The small, discreet breasts are barely perceptible, contrasting with the wide hips and robust thighs.
The left leg serves as a base, stretched out, with a bare foot.
