This expressive portrait is rendered in a loose, gestural style with bold brushstrokes in a palette of coral pinks, deep navy blues, and soft flesh tones against areas of stark white. The composition is dominated by broad sweeps of blue that create a sense of movement and atmosphere around the central figure. The features emerge from layers of paint, with particular emphasis on curved forms suggesting lips and the sweep of a neck or shoulder. Dark strokes in the upper right create a strong contrast that draws attention to the lighter areas. The painting's title suggests an air of innocence or unconsciousness that is reflected in the dreamy, abstracted quality of the brushwork and the way the figure seems to emerge from and dissolve into the surrounding colors.
