Description
A woman stands wrapped in a light cotton garment after bathing, her skin flushed with warmth and her hair slightly damp. The intimate subject is rendered with Kotondo''s characteristic combination of sensuality and restraint. The luminous flesh tones, achieved through multiple layers of translucent pigment, create an impression of glowing warmth.
