About this work

This lithograph features a woman reclining on a couch, holding a yellow flower to her nose. Her long hair flows down her back, and she is dressed in a green robe. In the background, a large face looms, with a woman in a green dress standing to the left. The image is rendered in muted colors, with shades of green and brown dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought as she sniffs the flower. If you're interested in learning more about the artistic style of this piece, you might want to explore the Impressionism movement.
