The painting shows a girl asleep on her bed, which is covered by a blue cloak, around her are three white doves, one of which lies face up with a bleeding wound on her chest. The perspective used is overhead, which allows you to observe the scene from above, providing a complete view of the composition. This work conveys a feeling of dreaminess and serenity, while the presence of the doves evokes purity and protection. At first glance, the painting denotes tranquility, the sleeping girl and the white doves suggesting peace and innocence. However, the wounded dove adds a tone of mystery and concern to the scene, generating a feeling of unease and bewilderment in the viewer. The combination of symbolic-realistic elements such as the detail of a fallen feather or the girl's bare feet, all this together with the elaborate pastel technique creates an intriguing and emotional atmosphere.
