Women Sunbathing on the Beach (by Serebriakova) Metal Ornament

This design features a painting by the Russian artist Zinaida Serebriakova (1884–1967). It depicts two women sunbathing on a rocky beach beside the sea. The woman in the foreground is wearing a light blue swimming costume, which has red and white stripes running vertically across it, and she is sleeping as she sunbathes. The woman behind her is wearing a dark blue or black swimming costume and she is sitting up and resting as she watches the gentle waves of the sea hit against the rocks in front of her. Both of the women are resting on beach towels. It is an attractive image of female beauty and relaxation at the beach. The original artwork was painted by Serebriakova in 1927.
