Descrizione:
The dramatic melancholy that pervades the work is alleviated by Miller through the use of a vivid orange-red tone for the floral motifs on the blanket, against which the protagonist's sad face is silhouetted. In a humble domestic interior, an elderly woman is seated in front of a fireplace, to the side of the bed-whose backpack can be glimpsed-and the small table, on which a soup tureen and some cups are laid.
