A close up protrudes the face of a serenely sleeping young woman. Comfortably sitting on a white pillow, covered with a colorful blanket, she sleeps sweetly, her mouth slightly open. Perhaps she dreams of some good, kind sleep. Dark hair framed a beautiful face in the form of a frame on the background of the pillow.
The artist departs from the traditional combination of bright colors. Yellow wallpaper with a discreet pattern, blue embroidery on a white nightgown, flowers on a blanket create a soft, delicate combination.
