The Blue Gown

About this work

In this painting, a woman reclines on a couch, wearing a long blue gown. The couch has a white fabric with a floral pattern, and the woman's head rests on a pillow. Her body is turned to the left, and her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her stomach. A basket sits on the couch beside her. The woman's face is relaxed, and her eyes are closed. The background of the painting is a wall with a floral pattern, and there is a circular object on the wall above the couch. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of calmness and serenity. The painting is held at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
