In this painting where Vetri follows the themes and fashions of the master Domenico Morelli, the artist focusses on the pictorial rendering of the light, in particular on the effects and reflections of the dazzling white bedsheet, and on the vibrant ochre colour of the wallpaper in the background. Here formal and chromatic research, conveying a sense of spontaneity, is characterized by great freedom of expression and the warm pasty material.
