In this particularly rare and haunting decorative panel, Livemont returns to his favorite subject: beautiful women. “One of the feminine characteristics he habitually emphasized was long, flowing tresses, and here he carries his worship to a virtual apotheosis, seeing an ocean wave as a manifestation of woman’s mystique—deep and restless, yet eternally soothing” (Gold, p. 136).
