Though the author considered this a fashion portrait, I think it's not entirely so. The simple beauty of the model is not one that tends to be used to aspire to sell a product, but something more mysterious and complex.
The "seat" she chose to wish, sit and wait in is unexpected. It leads the viewer to take interest in the model's history: Why is she there? How come she doesn't choose a different, more comfortable seat? Was she using her "chair" for something beforehand?
One thing is certain: this is a private moment, and the blurry plant is the cause of it. It forces the viewer to invade it, and the darkness of corners of the photo emphasizes the privacy.
I would certainly not pass up a chance to have this photo framed on a wall, however I wouldn't go out looking for it. Wonderful composition, namesake. Soon enough I'll be asking your autograph
