Jean-gabriel Domergue (1889-1962) Portrait Of An Elegant Woman

Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889-1962) Portrait of an Elegant Woman.
A highly seductive portrait of a woman, this work is emblematic of the refined world of Jean-Gabriel Domergue, a leading painter of feminine elegance in the first half of the 20th century. This composition presents a young, elegant woman with a proud bearing, her face delicately turned, animated by a lively gaze and subtly modeled complexion. The flowing hair, rendered with great freedom of brushstrokes, brings movement and modernity to the whole. The soft palette, dominated by powdery and bluish tones, lends the work an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and poetic, typical of Domergue's aesthetic. Oil on cardboard, a support frequently used by the artist for his spontaneous and refined portraits, reveals a lively and masterful execution. The work is presented in its original carved and patinated wooden frame, which perfectly highlights the delicacy of the subject and enhances its period charm. A decorative and elegant painting, ideal for a refined interior, brilliantly illustrating Domergue's vision of the modern woman. Period: first half of the 20th century. Technique: oil on cardboard. Framing: original frame. Very good overall condition.
