Description

Central to the composition is a blue female nude, from the front up to the height of the knees, with the head in profile. The woman holds a dress in her hands and looks at herself in a black mirror, located on a blue bedside table, along with a pair of glasses, a bouquet of flowers and other unspecified objects. Behind her right hip is a red armchair and at the top left a black window, on a small scale, disproportionate to the form. The moon is shining through the window. The floor is formed by alternating blue and white tiles, which occupy the lower part of the board. The cabinet door, at the bottom of the bedside table, is half open and a piece of cloth hangs over it, in such a way as to cover part of the figure’s left knee. The woman holds the . her right hand transparent cloth. The borders of the show are white.
