Expressive, almost transcendent portrait of a person facing upwards, possibly in a state of ecstasy or deep reflection. The style is loose and impressionistic, with visible brushstrokes and a limited colour palette consisting mainly of shades of beige, white and brown, with subtle touches of pink in the skin tones. The texture and technique of painting give the image a dynamic and rough character, with the rough brushstrokes enhancing the emotive power of the moment.
The subject's eyes are closed, suggesting that the experience is internal and personal. The composition, with the emphasis on the face and neck extending towards the light or space above, creates a sense of aspiration or desire. There is an interesting tension between the unfinished, almost abstract elements of the work and the detailed rendering of the face.
