Portrait of Berthe Serruys, 1894 Creator: Georges Lemmen (Belgian, 1865-1916) Description: This portrait, created by Belgian artist Georges Lemmen in 1894, showcases the enchanting likeness of Berthe Serruys, a young girl with a ponytail and an air of innocence. The portrait, executed in conte crayon on cream wove paper, reveals Lemmen's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of his subject's features and the delicate textures of her hair. The portrait is a testament to the artistic heritage of the 19th century, a time when artists explored new techniques and mediums to express the human condition. Lemmen's use of chalk and crayon on paper, rather than traditional oil paints, allowed him to create a unique, textured effect that adds depth and dimension to the portrait. Berthe Serruys is depicted in profile, her gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. Her hair, pulled back into a simple yet elegant ponytail, frames her face and accentuates the delicate curve of her neck. The portrait is a poignant reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the enduring beauty of the natural world. This portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the oldest and most renowned art museums in the United States. It is a testament to the institution's commitment to preserving and showcasing the world's greatest artistic achievements, spanning centuries and continents. Lemmen's Portrait of Berthe Serruys is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the human experience, or the simple pleasures of childhood. It is a reminder that art has the power to transport us to another time and place, to evoke emotions and inspire new ideas. Whether viewed in person at the Art Institute of Chicago or as a print, this portrait is a treasure to be cherished and celebrated.
