Description
Photograph of the painting "Joy of Life" by Middleton, depicting three naked women on the edge of the sea, [s.d.]. All three women have their backs to the viewer, the center woman with her arms outstretched to the sea below. The other two are seated. The woman to her right appears to be playing a flute, while the one to the left simply lounges. Below, terns circle over the surf which breaks over an array of rocks.
