The model having draped herself in an armchair upholstered with green velvet is not turning towards the painter but resting in herself in a moment of deep relaxation. Her head slightly inclined and propped up by her left elbow, and her eyes half closed give the impression that the dreaming woman feels unobserved. The picture emphasizes the young woman´s corporeality with strong incarnadine contrasts half lying in the soft arm chair. The diagonal structure of the picture, the incident light right at the bottom give the picture three-dimensionality, whereas the legs stretched out with the shoed feet pretend a horizontal level.
