The painting depicts a nude woman with dark hair pulled back, sitting on a rock in water. She is positioned with her back to the viewer and her head turned downward, facing a red fabric draped over the rock to her left. Her left arm rests on the fabric, while her right arm is bent and her hand near her face. The woman's legs are positioned with her right knee raised and her left leg extended under the water. A white cloth is bunched up under her on the rock. The background features a large tree trunk and foliage. The overall atmosphere suggests a natural setting. The title of the painting is "Musidora" and it is by the artist Thomas Sully.
