The artwork features a central figure of a woman sitting in a contemplative pose on a patterned piece of furniture. The figure is rendered with a blend of realistic and abstract elements, characteristic of the Surrealist movement. The ethereal and dream-like quality of the composition is further accentuated by the use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and mystery.
