This large painting is striking for the imposing full-length nude that occupies the left-hand side of the canvas, while the right-hand side is taken up by a large bouquet placed on a table where shells are on display.

This perfectly constructed painting emphasises the generosity of the female shape, of nature and of the colours. Juliette smiles, trying on a pearl necklace. Flowers and shells resonate with the female body.

Venus appears, and the flowers open up and sing of life.

Exhibited at the Salon des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs in 1958, the artist liked to show this work on her walls, like a manifesto of her pictorial doctrine.
