The painting depicts a stylized female figure, rendered in shades of deep blue, almost ethereal in appearance. She is depicted bending over, her body flowing gracefully, reminiscent of a flowing robe or perhaps water itself. Her form interacts with a densely populated field of lotus flowers in a contrasting yet harmonious palette. The lotuses are primarily coral pink and red, with green lily pads and dark blue water suggesting a pond. Along the figure's right side, a second field of lighter blue lotuses appears, almost like a continuation of the figure's form. The color blue dominates the overall composition, creating a serene and slightly melancholic mood. The style is reminiscent of modern illustrative painting with a touch of folk art in its depiction of floral motifs. The background is a plain off-white, contrasting the rich colours of the main subject matter. The woman’s hand gently holds a single lotus flower, creating a focal point of intimacy and connection. The painting's overall mood is one of contemplation and peace, with nature playing a central role.
