The contemplative and melancholic theme of a girl in reverie was one of the favourite romantic paintings. Emphasis is placed on expressiveness, elaboration of drapery and the presence of a natural motif, which is a symbol of changeability and temporality. Painting is a means of capturing a fleeting moment of beauty that will soon pass in the material world.
