Karl Lagasse - Woman in her bath

The artwork depicts a woman in a bubble bath, with her face largely covered by foam. The bright red lips and wide-open mouth form the focal point of the composition. The image combines Pop Art, photography, sensuality, and humor. Due to the strong contrast between the white foam and the red lips, it is a striking eye-catcher in a modern interior.
