Analysis

It presented a young girl who sits in the chair. In his left hand she holds a book with the title "Vie", as her hands touch the armrests of his chair. Body and hands show but the back remains straight. Face, hair and clothes of the girl have a strong geometry, highlighting the contours and details. Behind the chair is a monkey that plays with the hair of the girl. Objects in the room blend into the background, yet are well defined. Dominate the color scheme gray, ocher, brown, black, highlighted with yellow, white and red. In terms of style work can be assigned to cubism and constructivism.
