About the piece

Created in 1908 by Spanish artist Isidre Nonell, this oil study captures a woman in a moment of quiet repose. The work is defined by Nonell's signature expressive brushwork, which weaves together cool blue background tones with the warm, luminous hues of the sitter’s skin to create a sense of soft, atmospheric intimacy.
