This is an interior scene of a small, sunlit, attic bedroom, viewed from the foot of a single brass bed, in which a young woman lies asleep, beneath a thick, blue, flower-patterned eiderdown. Her red hat hangs at the end of the bedstead, and her red dress/coat hangs over a chair near the end of the bed. The white, stonewashed walls allow the artist to show interestingly coloured shadows on the walls and windowsills.
