Description: | Signed: yes Description: A pensive young girl is looking dreamily towards the viewer, her undone hair and simple shirt suggesting that she has been 'caught' at home. The rather loose brushstrokes give the painting a near-Impressionist quality underlining the fragility and simplicity of the model. Dedreux-Dorcy, a pupil of Guérin, painted many portraits of girls and young women. He also contributed to the decoration of the church of the Madeleine in Paris. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dedreux-Dorcy, Pierre Joseph (French painter, 1789-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8923... | Go to resource |
