Study for "Greek Girls Bathing"

Elihu Vedder, c. 1872

The image is of a person lying on their side with their arms supporting them. The person leans forward with one arm extended and the other arm bent. Their face is turned towards the viewer and they have dark, short curly hair. They wear a loose garment draped over one shoulder, revealing part of the chest. The clothing is a faded green or grey color. The background is a plain, light sandy color. There are no visible objects or intricate details in the background and the figure does not have any visible jewelry or objects.
