Description
The woman sleeps in the only shaft of warm light, while faces she cannot see watch her from the pillars. On a dark green sofa lies a woman in a leopard-print dress, lit by a yellow fan of light. The interior is built of massive riveted blue pillars and arches in which spectral female faces and points of light appear. The floor is rippling blue water; in the lower left corner sits a small pink pig.
