The title 'La nuit lui ressemble' (The night resembles her) gives this version of the angelic figure a darker, mystical connotation.
The black background makes the body seem to rise out of the darkness, like an apparition in the dark. The wings merge with the night, suggesting that the figure is both part of and transcends the darkness.
Her naked body contrasts with the darkness, emphasising her vulnerability. The large wings suggest a desire for freedom, but also an escape from reality.
Is this figure the alter ego of the figure with the white background from 'Un ange' or 'Vulnérable enfin'?
