circa 1895/1910
frame 65x55 cm
Oil on canvas depicting, in an intimate format and "close-up,"a young woman, seen from the back, sitting in an armchair, absorbed in observing a large print or watercolor she is holding in her hands. Dressed in a light white blouse accented with a blue ribbon, she is illuminated by light that contours her face, the nape of her neck, and the sheerness of the fabric. Her hairstyle, held in place by a tortoiseshell comb, is characteristic of the Belle Époque.
In the background, a small painting depicting a female nude seen from behind hangs on the wall—a detail that suggests a painter’s studio or an interior dedicated to the arts.
