Portrait of a nude person standing on the lawn of an estate in East Hampton, New York, between two rows of topiaries. Statues of figures from Roman mythology stand at regular intervals just in front of the topiary trees, including one of Venus and one of Mercury, which flank the person in the foreground. The person stands with slightly bent legs and wet hair, and holds their genitals tucked between their legs.
