"...in its quiet unassuming way it is one of the most distinguished paintings of an interior that I've ever seen. It has something of a Bonnard quality except that I like it very much better than any Bonnard I ever saw. The delicate blue floor, the imaginative handling of the rug pattern, the arrangement of spatial areas, the delicacy and taste of the whole is extremely satisfaying."
