The painting depicts a nude woman lying on her back on a cloth on the ground, propped up on her left elbow. Her head is tilted back, and she has a cloth wrapped around her head. A large white swan is positioned on top of her, its beak near her mouth. The woman's right arm is extended in front of her. The background is dark and appears to be a rocky area. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and white dominating the scene. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner.
