The dim and amber light of the sunset enhances the beauty of this young woman in the foreground, next to the shore. The twilight light emphasizes the golden smoothness of her skin, the blue depth of her eyes and the wheaty tone of her curls. The wide white cotton blouse slides down her bare arm and exposes one of her breasts. Abel Dominique Boyé takes up the romantic tradition in his sensual portraits.
