In depicting this model, Henri Matisse seems to focus on her interaction with her surroundings. Instead of simply drawing the model and the details in the model, Matisse captures qualities about the surroundings of the model as well. There is not much detail overall, but the scene is still interesting because of the quantity that it contains and the relatively accurate proportion in which everything appears.
One very notable thing about this painting is Matisse's use of color. The vivid red in the background is the most obvious. However, the way in which he used subtle colors of green, blue, purple and gray to capture the woman's skin tones is impressive. Matisse used non traditional bright colors to depict a realistic scene.
