I'm finding that I don't often get enthusiastic about an Arny Freytag centerfold, but this is clearly one of his better ones. Henriette is very attractive, of course, but more important she really shines in this pose. What really works here is the horizontal flow. Every one of Henriette's curves, her right arm, her breast, her stomach, her hips, her legs, move in a seamless pattern. The bold blue swoop of her dress always adds and never takes away from the lines of her body. The colors play off each other very well, as does the balance between the darker area at the upper left and the lighter areas around her face. Particularly intriguing is the way the silver, mere sparkles in her dress, morph into the whites of her eyes and the silver forms of the wood on the divan. Her eyes are placed at just the right height so that the lines of the divan draw us to them. The contrast between her fair skin and the other, darker tones of the centerfold make her pop out of the picture.
