Additional Information

Here Sandys presents us with a nude female form against a wavy blue sky, seen as if from the point of view of the woman herself, looking down at her breasts and pregnant belly. Fertility, pregnancy and reproductive cycles have been associated with the lunar cycle for centuries in folklore, and Sandys alludes to this with her title, Moonscape.
