A beautiful and expressive image of unripe femininity coupled with subtle sensuality, Jeune fille au lit conveys the subject's inner sensitivities, thoughts and mystery. As noted by art critic M. Machas, "Ahlas's girls painted mainly from live models, are shown in a dreamy restful repose within the confines of their rooms. Always barefoot, they are sitting in a chair or lounging on a sofa, singly or in pairs, pensive with a faraway contemplative look. The informality of the posture and gesture reflects the feelings and emotions of that particular moment. The individual poses are most expressive."1
Lambro Ahlas, a Greek-American artist from Oakland, California, who had lived and worked in Greece since 1962, studied at the American Art School in New York and exhibited at major institutions, including the San Francisco Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum in New York.
