This is a figure oil painting with modernist style. In the painting, a half-naked woman is standing in front of a table, and three books are placed on the table on the left. The whole work is full of life. The naked woman in the painting looks straight ahead, as if she is staring at the viewer, shortening the distance between the viewer and the characters in the painting. The woman's expression is slightly dull, and her movements are also very stiff, like a dummy model, even There is a feeling of absurdity, which gives the characters a stylized style of painting. The background of the picture is a whole piece of crimson, and the color of the tablecloth is warm yellow. The use of this warm color has established a soft and stable tone for the whole work. The content of the picture is concise but not monotonous. Although there is not too much modification, it is very artistic. The author got rid of the shackles of classicism. Although the characters are not as elegant and "idealized" as the classical characters, the painter pays more attention to the form and style of the picture. It shows the painter's personal artistic creation concept, with unique painting style and artistic charm.
