About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on a couch, wearing a green dress. She holds a book open in her lap while resting her chin on her hand. Next to her on a small table are a cup of tea, a saucer, a lemon, and a dark pitcher. Behind her is a striped red-and-white curtain, and the wall behind the couch is yellow with a patterned blue border. The brushstrokes are thick and bold, giving the scene a lively, almost textured look. The colors pop against each other, making the room feel warm and cozy.
