Español: Día (Verdad), pintura de Ferdinand Hodler

Una figura femenina desnuda está de pie descalza sobre una roca, con los brazos levantados y las palmas abiertas, y el cabello oscuro y largo cayendo sobre los hombros. Nubes grises y malvas y acantilados escarpados la enmarcan sobre un cielo suave y apagado en este óleo sobre lienzo.

Português: Dia (Verdade), pintura de Ferdinand Hodler

Uma figura feminina nua está de pé, descalça, sobre uma rocha, com os braços erguidos e as palmas abertas, e longos cabelos escuros caindo sobre os ombros. Nuvens cinza e malva e penhascos escarpados a emolduram contra um céu suave e esmaecido, nesta pintura a óleo sobre tela.
