The room has a striped wallpaper and a curtain in the background. The woman is looking down at the dog, which is sitting on the floor in front of her. The dog is small and has curly fur. The woman's hat is decorated with flowers and feathers. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes the textures of the fabrics and the dog's fur. It's a quiet, intimate scene that invites the viewer to step into the woman's private world. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Édouard Vuillard.
