A woman in a white blouse with blue trim sits slumped forward in a green painted chair, her head resting face-down on her outstretched arms on a round green table. A small red ceramic vase sits on the far edge of the table. Behind her, a pink door is visible against a dark red wall. The green of the table and chair is a specific, slightly blue-green, the brightest note in an otherwise muted interior. Casas was one of the defining figures of Catalan Modernisme and co-founded Els Quatre Gats, the Barcelona café modeled on Le Chat Noir in Paris where Picasso held his first exhibition. He studied in Paris under Carolus-Duran, lived at the Moulin de la Galette with Santiago Rusiñol, and became one of the most sought-after portraitists in Barcelona, painting the city's intellectual and political elite.
