Girl Seated in a Landscape (Jeune fille assise dans un jardin)

Discussion

FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

This young woman's country-style dress echoes the blues of the idyllic sky. The pure rainbow hues of red, orange, yellow and blue are also visible in the fabric of the dress as well as in her black hair, tied in a low chignon. The sitter's relaxed pose, one leg raised and one lowered, emphasizes the curves beneath her heavy skirts, and a shiny black shoe peeks out, rhyming with her hair.
