This unique portrait shows a woman posed with her arms stretched above her head, perhaps displaying her figure for the artist. The figure herself is depicted in monotone, with the only colour of the composition being the striking blue of the surface she sits upon, creating a dramatic contrast and a statue-like effect. The facial features of the sitter in particular draw on classical imagery of Greek and Roman sculpture, perhaps alluding to the timeless perceptions of beauty associated with this era, with the techniques and media of the piece bringing a modern twist.
