Text by Mrs. Hélène Saule-Sorbé, Professor at the University of Bordeaux III in Le Pin à crochets no 1, Pau, 1999:
‘… The body of the young woman, reclining and fluid could have
been one of the undines painted by Gustav Klimt (Moving Water, around 1898),
emphasises both the diagonal of a hilly foreground and the invisible receding
line which leads our gaze into the depths of the picture, where the piece of
landscape with a luminous veil of fog descending on it. Nymph, bacchanal, or
allegory for Mother Earth and the origin, the model, through the gentleness
and freedom of her pose, clings to the breathing of the Earth.
