There is nothing inessential or inexpressive in this painting. One can sense the interaction of the figure across empty space. Tones of lemon, peach and pink provide a moving accompaniment to the gentle mood of reflection. The style of painting remains traditional, with the colours changing according to contemporary tastes. The gentle expression on the face is highlighted by the light eyes and the full, smiling lips. The softly rounded face is cupped by the curling strands of hair. Beauty needs no ornaments, yet she wears a vast amount, showcasing opulence. Next to her lies the hukka, with the end of the pipe in her hand, ready to kiss her lips. In the foreground lie a tray of wine caskets and cups, and another full of golden fruit.
The graceful flexes of the female form, the overall refined treatment and extremely rich and pleasing colour tones imbue this picture with great vitality.
