The upper figure, nude, is turnedslightly to the right, and she has raised both armsabove her head, the hands not meeting but the fingersextended and bent in a tense will to grasp, as withhead thrown back and eyes raised in rapturous long-ing she looks upward between her hands, her lips lightlyparted.
