Focus on Over My Dead Body (Casas) and analyze the Description.
At the beginning of the 1890s, Ramon Casas began painting interior scenes with a female figure always present. Over My Dead Body, one of the first of the series, Casas paints a young woman standing between two doorways . Her posture appears to be looking out at someone and preventing them from entering the room.   The complexity of the open doors at the far end of the room contribute a mysterious quality to the painting, allowing the viewer to question where this young woman really is.The painting's original title was replaced for some time with "Summer Study." But Miguel Utrillo changed the title of the painting back to "Over My Dead Body" after a solo exhibition at the Sala Pares in May 1900. The title of the work is listed in Pel & Ploma as "Summer Study."
