The theme of this painting also centres on womanhood and child bearing. It is a stylized composition of a pregnant female, enveloped by sweeping and curvilinear lines moving in circular motions. Circle motifs depict the cycle of life, femininity and continuity. The palette consists of earth tones of umbers, Terre vertes, ochres, yellows, oranges, crimsons, along with the cream white and greens, applied in fluid curves.    The very bright and dark colours represent the changes in moods women experience during the period of expectancy. ​​​​​​​
