The painting depicts a woman lying on the floor next to a bed. The woman is on her back with her head on the floor and her legs on the bed, which has a simple metal frame and a rumpled white sheet or blanket. Her dress or nightgown is disheveled and appears to be white or light-colored. A pair of shoes sits on the floor to the right of her head. The room's walls are dark gray above and light brown below, and the floor is made of wood. The overall atmosphere of the scene is somber and melancholic. The artwork is "The Suicide" by Jean Louis Forain.
