Pastel on paper depicting a seated woman wearing a bright blue kimono with stylized white motifs. The inward-looking female figure embodies a form of meditative calm typical of Boncompain's world.

Pierre Boncompain, born in Valence in 1938, is a painter trained at the Arts Décoratifs and Beaux-Arts in Paris. Heir to the post-Nabian tradition, from the 1960s he developed a personal language of simple lines, colorful harmonies and intimate scenes, influenced by Matisse and Bonnard.
