This painting shows a woman sitting down, with her head tilted back and her eyes closed. She's nude, with her body turned to the right and her left arm resting on her knee. The background is plain, with some lines and shapes that might be part of a room or furniture. The woman's body is drawn in simple lines, with some shading to give her form. Her face is calm, with a peaceful expression. The overall mood of the painting is quiet and intimate.
