The image is a photograph of a detail from the painting "A Young Woman with a Serpent" (also known as "Psyché") by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, located at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France. The painting detail shows a partially nude woman in a reclining or semi-reclining pose. She has reddish-blonde hair, parted and slightly tousled, and a fair complexion. Her head is turned sharply to her right, with her gaze directed forward, her lips slightly parted. A small, circular earring is visible on her left ear. Her left arm is bent across her upper torso, and her right hand, visible in the lower center, holds a small, elongated, light-colored object. A dark, sinuous serpent is coiled behind her left arm and extends upward, partially obscuring the left side of her head and shoulder. The background consists of broad, indistinct brushstrokes in light blue, white, and ochre tones, suggesting a cloudy or ethereal setting. She is depicted resting upon blue drapery at the bottom and red drapery on the left side of the frame. The scene is illuminated by soft, diffused lighting.
