A woman lies in a bathtub, resting her hands on the edge and turning her head toward the camera. Her chin and cheek rest on her forearm. She looks directly into the lens with a neutral, relaxed expression. Upper body portrait from shoulders up, cropping the upper body and the edge of the bathtub. The composition is frontal, with a slight diagonal turn of the body.Her hair is pulled back into a high bun on top of her head, with individual strands escaping slightly at her hairline. A thin chain hangs around her neck. On the edge of the bathtub to the right of the woman are her personal care products: a tube of nude cream with green lettering, a transparent bottle containing green liquid and a white dispenser. Several gold rings and a bracelet lie nearby. In front of them, on the rim, sits a lit, cylindrical, fluted, cream-colored candle with a small, even flame.Her skin is evenly matte, with long black eyelashes, light brown eyeshadow, and matte brown lipstick.The setting is subdued lighting, an attic bathroom, white square wall and horizontal tiles, a sloping wooden ceiling in a light, warm shade, metal buckets with large houseplants on a shelf by the wall behind the woman, a zamioculcas plant with dark green glossy leaves on the left, a lush fern with long, lacy leaves on the right, a tall, thin, dark red candle in a candlestick visible in the background center, the candle flame providing a small, warm light source. The lighting is subdued with additional, warm, spotted glow from the candles, side-front lighting to the right and slightly from above, soft shadows, soft, short shadows under the chin, under the arms, and near objects on the edge of the bathtub, without harsh contrasts, the skin and white tiles are evenly lit, highly detailed, photorealistic, shot on a film camera with a grainy flash. The background is darkened by the flash.
