Meaning & Analysis

This portrait shows the textile designer and model artfully posed in a chair. With her head turned away from the viewer she appears to be mid thought or "ponder" as the title suggests. On her head she wears the black beret we recognise from works such as Celia In An Armchair The pose allows Hockney to demonstrate his skill at capturing figures at ease.
