In the family room of his own home in Giverny he created this work. The room was decorated by with lemon yellow panels and blue rugs and drapes, a dramatic color scheme that Monet had also used in his residence.

By positioning his subject slightly off-center and animating her with a small twist, he was able to master the challenging square format that was a defining feature of modernist thinking in the early 20th century.

The room's finer elements, such as the decorative pillows, a tabletop adorned with roses and a figurine. Are all captured in this piece using loose brushstrokes in the Impressionist manner.
Frieseke's nude subject and her partner appear to have discovered refuge from the summer's warmth in a secluded spot next to the water.
The model's strong form and distinct contours are reminiscent of outdoor nudist paintings by the French artist Auguste Renoir, whom Frieseke greatly loved.
Frieseke started painting open air nude portraits around 1908, when he moved to Giverny, a region in France where Claude Monet was his next-door neighbor.
