Meditation (Seated Woman) is a 1888 oil by Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting depicts a woman seated in a chair, dressed in a white dress with a red sash. She is positioned in front of a dark brown cabinet or armoire, which is situated against a wall with a light blue-green hue. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture on the canvas. The colors are muted, with earthy tones dominating the palette. The woman's face is serene, with a subtle smile playing on her lips.
