The artwork depicts a standing female in a room holding a cigar. Cigar and furnitures are representing cultivated life of the woman. The painting uses monochromatic scheme of black and white. The female form is cladded in a traditional attire. The facial expression portrays the figure in deep thoughts probably trying to figure out something or passing time. The neutrality of the colors brings out the aspect of time passage and perhaps a moment of meditation. It’s worth noting that smoking is a normal activity used for recreation in Burmese culture. However, observers of the work can have a different taste due to its health effects of tobacco.
