The painting shows a woman in a bath, holding a glass of wine. She looks relaxed, surrounded by simple things. The artist used graphite on brown paper to create this scene, which is a bit unusual. The woman's calm mood is the focus of this work, and the simple setting helps to emphasize that. You can compare this quiet scene to the technique of chiaroscuro.
