“Usually my figures look elsewhere. This one turned round, and I kept the gesture without quite knowing why. She holds the wheel with both hands, gloved, the way you hold something you have no intention of letting go. I spent most of the time on the dials of the dashboard: three amber spots in dark wood panelling, it is not much, but that is where the canvas lights up, and all the blue comes to rest against them. Behind her, the city is already no more than a line of lights. Is she leaving, is she heading home? I have not decided. A woman alone at the wheel at that hour tells her own story; I would rather leave room for it.”

— Le Yack

At nightfall, a convertible leaves the city. The driver, in a pale raincoat and white gloves, holds a wood-rimmed steering wheel with both hands and turns towards the viewer. Behind her slip past a crash barrier and the orange lights of a sprawling town. Midnight blue covers almost the whole canvas; the silver of the bodywork and the dials of the dashboard provide its only warm areas.
