Dame met waaier is a 1990–2000 oil painting by Paul Rowette (Netherlands), a portrait in impressionist style of a stylishly dressed woman with a dark fan, sold with frame.
Description from the seller
This elegant portrait shows a stylishly dressed woman with a dark fan, rendered in a loose and expressive brushwork. The artist combines a fairly precisely worked-out face with strong, visible brushstrokes in the clothing, hair, and background. Soft hues of cream, pink, and lilac are alternated with accents of turquoise, green and dark purple, giving the portrait a lively and almost impressionistic look. The twisted pose, the direct gaze of the woman and the striking fan create a sense of movement and elegance, while the loose brushwork gives the work a contemporary character.
Paul Rowette is an artist who concentrates primarily on figurative painting and portraits. His work is characterized by a combination of recognizable, carefully observed figures and a free, painterly touch. Rather than delineating every detail with precision, he uses loose brushstrokes and subtle color accents to suggest light, movement and mood. Especially in his portraits, the emphasis is on the look and pose of the subject, with refined faces combined with more expressively painted clothing and backgrounds. This creates an appealing interplay between classical portraiture and a modern, impressionistic painting style.
