The Pearls (Les Perles)

A nude young woman with short, curled brown hair sits in a tiled bathtub, knees drawn up and arms wrapped around her legs, looking back over her shoulder toward the viewer. The tub holds blue-grey water, with pale beige tiled walls, two metal faucets, and a checkerboard-tiled floor with a pale green curtain at left. Soft pink, tan, and muted blue-green tones dominate the composition, framed by a wide cream-colored border with the artist's signature and red seal in the upper right; the print is titled "The Pearls (Les Perles)" by Paul Jacoulet, 1950, color woodblock.
