What does the The Metropolitan Museum of Art write about the 19th century artwork painted by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes? (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Although Puvis’s compositions are typically serene and restrained, this female nude has an unusual air of sensual abandon. Her voluptuous pose was likely inspired by an ancient Greek sculpture of the mythological heroine Ariadne. Puvis’s dealer exhibited this painting in 1887 with the title Tamaris, the French word for the tamarisk plant. Pink-blossoming shrubs around the woman reinforce her identity as a personification of the tamarisk, which is common to France’s southern coast.
