About the Item
A refined pastel on paper depicting the portrait of a young woman wearing a white veil, executed in a spirit of Symbolist gentleness and Oriental inspiration.
The face, bathed in a soft, diffuse light, is treated with great subtlety of modeling and a keen sense of transparency, reminiscent of the works of Edmond Aman-Jean (1858–1936) and his artistic circle.
The anonymous artist who created this composition shares the same pictorial sensibility: a taste for vaporous effects, powdery complexions, and a melancholic poetry in the representation of the feminine.
Aman-Jean's influence is evident in the way the contours are blended and the pastel tones blend into a delicate harmony of whites, greens, and pinks.
This work reflects the dialogue between Symbolism and poetic Orientalism that marked the first decades of the 20th century in France, a period when the veil, light, and the downcast gaze became symbols of interiority and mystery.
Presented in a gilded frame decorated with pearls and acanthus, it offers a soft and timeless presence.
Dimensions: 24.5 × 19.5 cm visible – 29.5 × 24.5 cm with the frame
(approx. 9.6 × 7.7 in visible – 11.6 × 9.6 in framed)
A work of great delicacy, in the refined and contemplative spirit of Edmond Aman-Jean's female portraits. Ideal for collectors of French Symbolism, lovers of 1900s art, or enthusiasts of poetic Orientalism.

Portrait of a Young Girl by Alexei Harlamoff
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia

In 1875, Harlamoff exhibited his portraits of Louis and Pauline Viardot to great acclaim, marking a turning point in his career. French writer Emile Zola...
