Thérèse Hummel (1896–1967) – *the Lovers, Place De La Comédie* – Signed Watercolors – 20th Century

A charming and luminous watercolor titled Lovers at Place de la Comédie, created by the artist Thérèse Hummel (1896–1967).

The artist employs a synthetic, highly modern graphic style, elegantly playing with a contrasting and masterfully controlled color palette: the lush green of the foliage and architectural elements complements the vibrant orange-red of the silhouettes and stylized streetlamps.

In the foreground, a group of pigeons peck at the square, lending a beautiful, lively, and poetic dynamic to the scene. In the background, the couple strolls near the fountain and streetlights, in front of the imposing Parisian facades. The precision of the line combined with the lightness of the washes attests to the artist’s great artistic mastery.
