A key figure in late 20th-century photography, Mapplethorpe created work with a distinctive tension between opposites: sacred and profane, mainstream and underground, light and dark.

From the Getty Museum record

White nude female cropped above the knee standing with her body slightly angled and facing right as she holds one hand up to her brown hair and turns her head to gaze at the viewer. Strong shadows from a window pane are cast along her body, also creating a silhouette of her profile on the wall behind her.
