From the Paper:

"The model's face is focused on as Cezanne uses a white tone that creates a cold and unbreakable structure yet, the dress and the darker colors of the wall allow that coldness to merge creating a balance of hues. The stark lines of the wall and the harsh color of the background finds relief in the light tones of the curtain and the brightness of the dress. Each color is perfectly balanced and each form symmetrically achieved contrasting against the other to harmonize the overall picture. Cezanne attempted to create a natural harmony with the people and the space, which they occupied. He stated that, "painters must devote themselves entirely to the study of nature and try to produce pictures which will be an education" (Rewald 1995, 303) "
