The painting is marked by the sand-laced pigment and curvilinear forms of Braque's later work and presents a seated female artist with palette and brush in hand. Set in the artist's own Varengeville studio on the Normandy coast, it is one of about ten paintings that depicts figures engaging in artistic or musical activities.
