It makes me think about La source by Ingres !
Incredible !
I studied it in history of art if you want me to talk a bit more about it ^^
First of all, Ingres is a really classic artist and I mean "classic" as the painting movement: the touch is really smooth, we don't see the strokes. Plus the colors are not really light. Complete oposition with the Impressionists for exemple !
Also the subject is classic: it's not really a woman who's painted, but a feminine figure, an allegory of the idea "source". That's why she's floatting on the water instead of having her feet in the water, like a real person. The point here is not reality.
About the composition, Ingres played it carefully : we actually see the little spring last, in the corner. Our eyes are first drawn to the amphora, then we follow the curve of the body: that's why the position is not really natural (the arm woulde have broke the nice curve). This way, the curve reminds us of the liquid falling from the amphora.
Well, that was supposed to be short ^^
I hope you found it useful !
In fact, I'm currently revising to take an art exam XD
