Analysis
The painting presents a young girl sitting in a chair. In her left hand she holds a book titled "Vie", as her hands touch the armrests of her chair. The face, hair and clothes of the girl have a strong geometry, highlighting the contours and details. Behind the chair is a monkey who plays with the hair of the girl. Objects in the room blend into the background, yet are well defined. Gray, ocher, brown, and black dominate the color scheme, highlighted with yellow, white and red. The style of the work can be assigned to cubism and constructivism.[2]
