LeYack’s hand-signed giclée on canvas titled Le Palais d'Ondine, a limited edition of 20 numbered prints, 40 × 60 cm, created in 2022, with signatures on the front and back and a certificate of authenticity, shipped from France.
Description from the seller
A fully submerged bourgeois salon. The parquet, the dresser, the gilded méridienne, the frames on the wall, the window with small panes, the curtains — everything is in place, and everything is underwater. In the center, a young woman in a red dress spins barefoot, her skirt spread out in her arms. From the ceiling, two shoals of fish cross: reds on the left, golds on the right.
This isn’t a drowning, it’s an invitation. At Aloysius Bertrand, Ondine invites the sleeper to come rule over their palace at the bottom of the lake; here the palace is a nineteenth-century interior and the dance has already begun. The red of the dress, the only warm mass in the canvas, stands up to all the blue — it’s this point of tension that keeps the scene from tipping into mushy dream.
The water is built from overlapping blue sails, heightened by dry whites for the bubbles and the rays of light; the dress is the showpiece, fashioned into thick pleats where red shifts from carmine to garnet in the hollows; the furniture, darker and smoother, serves as ballast to the composition and anchors the bottom of the painting.
