"The Dream"

A young woman with long loose hair lies asleep on a bed, propped against pillows beneath a dark carved wooden headboard. She wears a loose white dress gathered at the waist, one hand resting on her hip and the other trailing off the edge of the mattress, one bare leg extended over the side of the bed.

Soft, warm ochre and grey-brown tones dominate the pastel, with gentle light falling across her face, chest and the pale fabric while the headboard and shadows remain darker and less defined. The loose, atmospheric handling and blurred edges create a hushed, tender mood of undisturbed sleep.
