About this work

The painting depicts a woman with dark, curly hair, reclining on her right side. Her eyes are closed, and her head rests on her right hand, which supports her chin. She wears a pink dress with a white collar and a blue earring. The woman's face is illuminated, while the background is dark, suggesting that the scene takes place indoors. The overall atmosphere is one of serenity and tranquility. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Petrescu, Costin, an artist known for his skillful use of chiaroscuro to create dramatic contrasts between light and dark.
