On the Pale Silver Sofa

Maurice Denis

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a painting of two women. One woman sits on a sofa and another woman sits behind her. The seated woman's body faces forward; her head is slightly tilted to the right. She has fair skin and brown hair. The woman wears a long-sleeved dress with a red base color and green floral patterns. A white and red floral pattern is on the sleeves and upper chest. The woman sitting behind rests her right elbow on the back of the sofa and her chin on her hand. She faces left. The background shows a yellow wall and a patterned sofa. The painting's title and artist are written at the bottom. The title, in French, translates to "On the Pale Silver Sofa".
