The composition of the painting, with its close-up view of Juliette, enveloped in soft, diffused light, highlights Courbet's ability to render textures and subtle variations of color, contributing to the overall sense of realism and immediacy. The work's emotional depth is further enhanced by the artist's use of chiaroscuro, skillfully balancing light and shadow to create a lifelike representation.
