Measuring 46.5x68 cm, it exudes an air of regality and exoticism. The focal point of the composition is a mesmerizing female figure draped in vibrant yellow fabric. Her royal headdress and turban add to her majestic presence as she reclines gracefully on two joined sheets of paper. The artist skillfully captures her bare breasts with tasteful nudity that emphasizes her sensuality without crossing into vulgarity. Bakst's attention to detail shines through in every stroke; from the intricate patterns adorning the sultana's garments to the delicate highlights created by touches of gold. The combination of colors creates a harmonious contrast between warm yellows and rich blues that further enhances the overall allure.

It serves as a testament to Bakst's ability to capture both physical beauty and inner strength within his subjects.
