Description


The painting portrays the ancient Greek courtesan Phryne, who revealed her breasts before her judges to save herself from a death sentence for sacrilege.[2][3] It depicts a naked woman standing in the middle of the painting and a bush in the background. Her left hand is raised in order to cover her face. Her right hand holds a red robe lying at her feet. It was painted during the artist's stay in Paris a few months before his death.
