Painting of a seated nude woman watching a youth in a red cloth lean over a forest pool among yellow irises and lily pads.

Echo and Narcissus

A nude woman with red-brown hair sits at the left edge of a grassy bank beneath a tree, gazing toward a young man lying on rocks at the water's edge. He wears a red drape and leans over a pool, his reflection visible among yellow irises and lily pads, with a wooded landscape behind. The painting is in oil, with soft, luminous brushwork.

Español: Eco y Narciso

Una mujer desnuda de cabello castaño rojizo está sentada al borde izquierdo de una orilla cubierta de hierba, bajo un árbol, y mira hacia un joven recostado sobre las rocas junto al agua. Él viste una tela roja y se inclina sobre un estanque, con su reflejo entre lirios amarillos y hojas de nenúfar, con un paisaje boscoso al fondo. Es una pintura al óleo de pincelada suave y luminosa.
