Baigneuses à "Tahiti", an original lithograph by Bernard Buffet, features the vivid colors typical of the artist's work. The scene evokes the bright light of the Mediterranean sun with the presence of a vacationing couple, perhaps a self-portrait in Annabel's company. The woman, lying on her back with her hands covering her eyes to protect her from the sun, and the man, casually reclining on his stomach, embody the tranquility and relaxation of a day at the beach.
