In the style of Jean-Baptiste Greuze (XIX) - Portrait of a young woman

French School – Portrait of a young woman – In the style of Jean-Baptiste Greuze – Pastel on paper – Late 19th / early 20th century
Description :
Elegant and highly expressive pastel depicting a young woman with a melancholic and introspective gaze, rendered with great delicacy and refinement.
This work clearly draws inspiration from the emotional and intimate compositions of Jean-Baptiste Greuze, particularly in the treatment of the face, the softness of the modeling, and the subtle expression of sentiment.
Executed in pastel on paper, the composition stands out for its fine execution, harmonious color palette, and the luminous rendering of the skin tones contrasted with the drapery in soft blue hues.
The quality of the execution and the sensitivity of the subject place this work within the tradition of the French academic and sentimental school of the late 19th to early 20th century.
