About this work
A young woman in a striped shirt sits at a table by a gauzy curtained window, holding up a bright red starfish and studying it in profile. A white gull perches calmly on the back of her chair; shells, small stones and a dark bottle-shaped vase lie on the tabletop beside a sand-filled hourglass.
Cool blues and violets wash over the room, set off by the warm red of the starfish and the girl's flushed cheeks. Soft, wet-on-wet blending gives curtain and shadow a hazy softness, while figure and objects keep firmer outlines. The quiet gesture and the hourglass beside her lend the scene a reflective, dreamy air.
