The beauty in this picture is lifting her right shoulder very slightly as she
flirtatiously gazes at something behind her. Its almost like she knew she was
being watched by an appreciator of her timeless fecund beauty, and ripeness.
She could just as well be a girl today, standing on the tram self-consciously aware
of herself, yet probably innocent of her power: timeless feminine beauty.
