Thérèse Hummel (1896–1967) – Place Des Vosges – Signed Watercolor – 20th Century

A vibrant and poetic watercolor titled *La Place des Vosges*, created by the artist Thérèse Hummel (1896–1967).

In this balanced composition, the artist captures the joyful atmosphere of the famous Parisian square. It features the iconic 17th-century architecture with pink bricks and greenish slate roofs, bordering the central garden structured around its monumental fountain and avenues of linden trees.

In the foreground, children play with a ball, stroll, and have fun near the pond, watched over by elegant figures seated on the park’s benches. Thérèse Hummel uses a fresh, rhythmic palette, dominated by the deep green of the vegetation and the ochre-pink of the facades and paths, accented by small white dots representing gravel or light. The spontaneity of the ink lines blends perfectly with the delicacy of the watercolor washes.

A prominent figure in Parisian artistic circles during the first half of the 20th century, Thérèse Hummel belongs to that generation of independent female artists who flourished at the heart of modernity.
