This is an example of an early work by Rippl-Rónai, from his so-called
"corn"-phase. Both figures are familiar from his series depicting
domestic interiors. The familiar, internalised mood is reminiscent of
his early works; however the handling shows new solutions. The two figures
are placed closely together in the foreground of the composition.
