In this painting by William Bouguereau a couple are in a woodland sharing a quiet moment together. The young woman is looking at her partner while plucking the petals from a daisy which she has in her left hand. He is naked at her feet embracing her legs seemingly beckoning her to join him on the blanket. Her body language and her facial  expression suggests that perhaps she is uncertain about her feelings for him and is there fore reluctant to join him.

The above account is my interpretation of the work and should in no way be taken as fact.
