In this moody portrait, a woman with her cheek resting on her hand appears to have just awoken from a daydream. The delicacy of the flowers and handling of the paint recall the diaphanous qualities of a watercolor. The model's black eyes, coat collar, and muff counterbalance the predominance of the pastel hues. Laurencin was often associated with Cubism despite not painting in a discernably Cubist style. She instead used elongated and stylized forms to develop her signature motif of the willowy, ethereal woman-child who inhabits an almost exclusively feminine world.
