Description
A young woman with dark, center-parted hair sits holding a large folding fan across her chest, its pale panels streaked with soft peach and blue. A ruffle of white lace circles her neck above a dark navy bodice, and she rests against a red upholstered chair that glows warmly at the edges of the frame.
Painted in 1885, the picture is built around a rich, golden ochre background that bathes her face and shoulders in warm light, giving the whole composition a soft, glowing intimacy. Her calm, direct gaze and slightly parted lips bring a quiet, thoughtful presence to an otherwise simple pose.
The warm golds and soft pastel fan in this portrait print especially well on canvas, where the glowing background keeps its depth rather than flattening out. Available in multiple sizes, on canvas or fine-art paper.
