About this work
A woman in a white strapless dress sits in profile, her head propped on one hand, her hair swept up into large ornamental coils. On the table before her stand a stemmed glass, a spoon, wedges of cut melon and a whole melon resting on a stand; a window with panes is suggested in the wall behind at left.
Warm ochre and gold tones fill the background, set off by soft mauve-pink passages beneath the table. The figure is simplified into smooth, rounded planes with minimal shading, in a flattened, decorative style rather than naturalistic modeling. The soft, even light and relaxed pose give the scene a languid, contemplative mood of quiet leisure.
