Backlit from sunlight pouring in through a tall window, a girl with waist-length, golden hair stands reading looking at a sheet of paper in profile, facing a person sitting in a chair in front of the window in the corner of the room in this vertical painting. Both people seem to have light skin though their faces are obscured by shadow. The window on the wall opposite us is to our left of center. The sheer curtain covering the window is painted loosely with strokes of lavender purple, pale peach, and cream white. Floral curtains flanking the window are painted with touches of teal and pumpkin orange. The top of the window is covered by a shade that glows marigold-orange in the sunlight, and the rails separating the windowpanes cast aquamarine-blue shadows on the sheer curtain. The standing girl tilts her head down to look at the unfolded piece of paper she holds. The hair from her forehead and down to her ears is pinned back, adding to the cascade down her back. She wears a short-sleeved, shin-length, topaz-blue, loose garment and dark slippers or shoes. She has pulled her right foot, farther from us, out of the slipper to rest on those toes. The woman across from her, to our left, sits in a wicker chair and looks up at the girl. Her brown hair is pulled back and she wears a pale, butter-yellow wrap around her shoulders. One hand rests along the arm of her chair and the other, farther from us, the pages of a book or newspaper. Her chair is tucked in next to a royal-blue couch that has a rounded back and wood trim, next to an armless wooden chair with a red upholstered seat. The girl stands behind a wooden tabletop that extends off the canvas to our right. A mirror hanging on the wall over the seated woman reflects the light from the window, and another mirror behind the girl reflects the far side of her head. The light from the window pours onto an area rug patterned with touches of sand brown, coral pink, turquoise, and white. The artist signed the painting with tiny letters in the lower right corner: “Daniel Garber.”
