A woman in a white nightgown or dress lies face-down on a white bed, her dark hair loose, her chin resting on her hands, looking out toward the viewer. The bed takes up most of the composition with its broad expanse of white and pale blue fabric. A window at the upper left lets in a sliver of cool light. The lower third of the canvas is dark — brown floor dissolving into near-black shadow. The whole painting is built on the contrast between the white bed and the dark floor, with the woman's face and dark hair as the point of focus between them. The brushwork is fluid and economical, the white fabric is painted in long, loose strokes with almost no detail.
