CONTENT INFORMATION
The painting's central subject is Eshara, here depicted as a winged woman seated in a tree. Her posture is relaxed, black feathered wings curling around her, and she is looking off to the side as if lost in thought. The tree has some green vegetation growing on the bark, but its branches are barren of leaves. Stars and a waning crescent moon can be seen in the sky behind her; it is unclear if it is dawn or dusk.
Eshara's clothing is lavish, with multicolored silks, shimmering gossamer, and various pieces of glittering jewelry. Shaalite horns sprout from her head, wreathed by a crown of leaves and red flowers. Long, thick black hair hangs loosely about her shoulders. She is beautiful, with pink cheeks, a rosebud mouth, and beguiling dark eyes. Her right sleeve has fallen down, baring some skin, just enough to be enticing. Her feet are bare.
The painting was made at a time when the painter had fallen under Eshara's spell. She is thus depicted as desirable and enchanting. Not long after the painting was completed, her true nature was revealed. Yet this moment remains frozen in time, a reminder of how lovely, enthralling and innocent desire can seem at first.
