About the Item
Beautiful and affecting, this gentle depiction of a young woman holding a rose, her hair embellished with clusters of pearls and her dress evincing a fashionable patchwork of colors à la Paul Poiret, is by Marie Laurencin, and was painted as the basis for a print she issued. Laurencin -- whose paintings are being celebrated in a major exhibition at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia now -- is known for her focus on lovely women painted in delicate shades of blue, pink and gray, with dark eyes and blushing lips, as here. This painting, executed in gouache and watercolor, may have served as a study for a larger painting in oil, though this piece is complete and fully fleshed out in its own right. It is signed and dated in the upper righthand quadrant. The painting shows losses around the margins, but there are faint indications that the painting was matted and framed to hide those losses in the past. The painting is on heavy paper mounted on board.
