A nude woman wearing a blue beaded necklace and a golden bracelet sits on an aqua sofa. Brown, gridded wallpaper and an undulating fireplace mantelpiece dominate the room. At the time of painting, Matisse was engrossed in applying new techniques from his Dance mural (1930–33) to the themes of the odalisque and decorative interiors. He compared painting to the game of chess, where the overall objective remains the same, but the appearance of the board changes during play.
