Description from the seller

This work by Jacques Weismann, created in 1912, depicts an intimate and restrained atmosphere typical of the Belle Époque.
The protagonist is a young woman seated on the edge of a bed, captured in a private moment as she dresses or adjusts her gloves and black stockings, elegant and sensual elements that recall the world of fashion and the refined femininity of the era.

The artist uses a soft and vibrant stroke, with warm and enveloping tones — reds, browns and deep blues — that create a sophisticated and almost theatrical atmosphere.

The poised posture of the figure, the lowered gaze and the domestic setting convey a sense of introspection and delicacy, more than mere sensuality.

Weismann thus manages to unite elegance and intimacy, transforming a daily scene into a poetic and evocative image, where the female body becomes the protagonist not so much as an object of observation, but as an expression of grace and contemplation.
