This painting was an interesting landscape, but having had no success in selling it as such the artist applied the figure in the foreground, believing it would draw the viewer's attention. Sarah La Baigneuse is a mythical figure in Berlioz' songs who is something of a free spirit. She features in several other works.
Other images of Ludshott Common, and of Sarah are in the related artwork section below.
