About this work

This painting shows a woman reclining on a sofa, wearing a white dress that's open at the chest. Her curly hair is tied back with a red ribbon. The background is a blue curtain, and there's a gold stand to her left. The woman's expression is calm, and her posture looks relaxed. The artist has used soft colors to create a peaceful atmosphere. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this painting, which is an example of Romanticism.
