Shown from the knees up, a pale-skinned woman stands and clutches a white cloth to her body in this loosely painted, vertical composition. Her body is squared to us, but she turns her head to our right so that chin nearly touches that shoulder. Her face is tipped down, and her eyes are closed. She has a snub nose and full pink lips. Her long blond hair is pulled loosely up and back, and loose strands frame her face. She stands with her arms across her torso and one knee pushed a little forward. One spaghetti strap of her white tank top is looped over her shoulder, and the other has fallen down and off the other. She grips the white fabric around her waist and across her hips. A wooden table touches the side of her leg to tour left. The background is painted with streaks of olive and dark green. The artist signed the top left corner, “Raphael Soyer.”
