Description from the seller
Jacques MARTIN (1844-1919)
“Lady seated with back to us” (Dama seduta di spalle)
Original artwork / Signed / Certified
Era: 1915
Oil on canvas mounted on board for conservation purposes
Measurements: 31 x 26 cm in frame
Painting: 20 x 15 cm
Elegant interior scene depicting a young woman three-quarter length seated, captured in a moment of quiet and reflection, beside a table on which a vase of flowers is placed.
The work stands out for lively, tactile painting with immediate expressive freshness, characterized by rapid and bold brushstrokes, refined chromatic contrasts, and a particular sensitivity in the rendering of light.
The blue and green tones of the dress harmonize with the warm browns of the surrounding environment, while the bright touches of the bouquet impart vitality to the composition.
The painting exhibits stylistic features linked to French Post-Impressionist sensibility, with a free and vibrant pictorial language compatible with the work of Jacques Martin (1844–1919).
