About the Item

Panel work Golden wooden frame 125 x 81 x 2.5 cm This captivating and intriguing work of art features a young woman surrounded and accompanied by various animals in a natural setting. The composition is imbued with a naive simplicity which contrasts with the symbolic richness of each element. The woman, in the center of the scene, wears a serene and confident look. She wears a laced black blouse, a red skirt, adding a touch of liveliness to the color palette dominated by natural tones. Its appearance is both mysterious and haughty, giving the impression that it is in harmony and in silent conversation with the surrounding nature. On his shoulder rests a white cat spotted with gray, whose positioning indicates a relationship of closeness and trust. Another cat, curled up in her red skirt, seems to find refuge and security with her. These felines often symbolize independence and curiosity, traits that can be attributed to the central figure of this composition. At his feet, a black dog stares fixedly at the observer, adding a dimension of loyalty and vigilance to the scene. Several birds, including a pigeon clearly visible on the left, complete this assembly of creatures; they bring a symbolism of freedom and spirituality, further anchoring the work in a dreamlike and contemplative dimension. Each element seems to have its place and its meaning. The pictorial technique is characterized by clear and defined lines, a style reminiscent of naive art, where expressiveness and visual storytelling take precedence over realism. Every detail of this work seems carefully thought out to invite the viewer to reflect on the relationship between humans and nature, innocence and wisdom, tranquility and vigilance. In short, this painting is a harmonious celebration of nature and the coexistence between living beings, offering symbolic depth and an invitation to contemplation.
