EUROPEAN SCHOOL, "Elegant Woman with a Hat", mixed media on paper, ca. 1930
Elegant portrait of a young woman seated, wearing a wide light-colored hat, created on paper using a technique combining watercolor, gouache and pencil or charcoal strokes.
The artist favors a free and spontaneous execution, allowing the support to show through and using a few quick lines to construct the silhouette. The palette, dominated by shades of beige, brown, white, and gray, is punctuated by a few touches of green that discreetly structure the composition.
The deliberately understated face contrasts with the more assertive treatment of the hat and clothing. This economy of means, combined with the elegance of the pose and the fluidity of the drawing, places the work within the aesthetic of society portraits and fashion illustrations of the interwar period.
The work is unsigned in the currently visible portion. A possible signature or annotation may be concealed beneath the mat.
