John Jay BaumgartnerLady by the Pond, 1920's Art Nouveau Nude Figurative Landscape1924
1924
About the Item
Delicate and vibrant mid-1920's depiction of a nude woman sitting on the edge of a bathing pool by John Jay Baumgartner (American, 1865-1946). Soft light filters through dense foliage, illuminating the woman and pool in the center of the piece. The woman sits on a rock at the edge of the pond, turned away from the viewer, creating a sense of mystery. Foliage in the background is slightly out of focus, continually drawing the viewer's eye back to the woman.
Signed and dated in the lower left corner "J. Jay Baumgartner Tassajara 24".
Presented in a gold frame with a double mat and plexiglas.
Paper size approx: 11"H x 15"W
