The theme of a woman seated beside a window has a long tradition in Belgian and Dutch painting, most notably represented by the interiors of Jan Vermeer. In this canvas, Morren recasts the motif in the language of Neo-Impressionism.
Morren transforms this silent realm crowded with furnishings and keepsakes into an intricate, colorful pattern of carefully applied dots. He even paints the paisley shawl in both shadow and bright light.
The twisted rods at the right are the drying racks of a stove. They add a strangely energetic note to the motionless scene.
