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. The scene, set in a humble domestic interior, depicts an elderly woman seated in front of a fireplace on the left. Behind her are a bed—of which the straw mattress is visible—and a small table, on which a tureen and a few cups are placed.
