In this Derain is closer to the relatively informal, albeit tightly composed, scenes of painters at work found in seventeenth-century art. The master is sitting in the foreground at his easel, with a brush in his right hand, in comfortable indoor clothes. As in "Las Meninas," the artist is shown working on a canvas, of which only the rear is visible; however, the atmospheric and warm perspective of the palace interior of Velázquez's work is replaced in the Goya by a sense of, in the words of Gassier, "imminent suffocation" as the royal family are presented by Goya on a "stage facing the public, while in the shadow of the wings the painter, with a grim smile, points and says: 'Look at them and judge for yourself!'" There were a number of animals in Derain's home at Chambourcy, including ducks and geese, and a peacock.

Derain did not believe that art was nourished by, or should be subject to, theories or doctrines, and insisted that it was rather a matter of individual expression.
