Description: | Signed: yes Description: Dedreux-Dorcy showed much sensitivity when depicting women, be it at their everyday chores or posing for a portrait. Even though this young girl probably leads a harsh life, possibly as a servant or a farm girl, she is shown with all her gracefulness. Her light complexion and pretty figure contrast with the environment she is placed in, composed of all sorts of kitchen implements and bare walls. p>Dedreux-Dorcy was a pupil of Guérin. He painted many portraits and also took part in the decoration of the Madeleine church in Paris. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dedreux-Dorcy, Pierre Joseph (French painter, 1789-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8975... | Go to resource |
