Suzette Mezie
Nude 'La Femme Faune' Impressionist of a Young French Lady, 1970s, Signed

c. 1970's

About the Item

Nude Impressionist of a Young French Lady, 1970s, Signed By French artist, Suzette Mezie, Mid 20th Century Signed by the artist on the lower right hand corner Titled 'La Femme Faune' verso Oil painting on canvas, framed Framed size: 22.5 x 28 inches Stunning original nude oil painting by the French artist, Suzette Mezie. This is so wonderfully 1970s, from the soft psychedelic background to the models hair being wrapped up in a boho fashion with a scarf. The title 'La Femme Faune' gives a clue to this mysterious woman. She is perched on a log stump, surrounded by leafy growth - so she is clearly portrayed as a 'Faune'. The 'faune' is a mythological half human–half goat creature appearing in Ancient Rome. The goat man, (or woman in this instance) is a bipedal creature with the legs and tail of a goat and the head and torso of a man and is often depicted with goat's horns and pointed ears. They were a symbol of fertility, and their chieftain was Silenus, a minor deity of Greek mythology. Although this doesn't wholly apply to this stylish woman, it's definitely suggested. Condition report: The painting and frame are both in very pleasing condition.
