EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Half length portrait of a woman" is a stunning example of the artistic mastery of Constantin Guys. Painted with watercolor and ink on paper, this 25x18 cm print showcases the artist's ability to capture the essence and beauty of his subject. The woman in the painting exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, dressed in a lavish evening gown adorned with exquisite jewelry. Her coiffure is meticulously styled, accentuating her pearl earrings and dazzling brooch. Every detail speaks to her status as a member of the bourgeoisie during the Second Empire period. With a proud and haughty expression, she gazes directly at the viewer, commanding attention and admiration. The artist skillfully captures not only her physical features but also conveys her personality through his brushstrokes. This artwork was featured in "Le Peintre de la Vie Moderne" further solidifying its significance within French art history. Housed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Constantin Guys, we are transported back to an era defined by opulence and refinement. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to immortalize both individuals and moments in time for generations to come.
