  • Style: Symbolism. The artist is known for his dreamlike, melancholic depictions and frequent use of blue tones to convey spiritual qualities.
  • Motif: It depicts a shimmering blue figure (often interpreted as a young woman or bust) against a background of cypress trees and bright, cloud-like structures.
  • Technique: Lévy-Dhurmer was a master of pastel, but also used oil paints. The soft transitions in the painting are characteristic of his pastel works, which often create a mystical atmosphere. 
Lévy-Dhurmer was closely associated with the Art Nouveau movement and also worked as a ceramicist for a time before dedicating himself entirely to painting. Many of his works are now in important collections such as the Musée d’Orsay in Paris
