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.

The Via Flaminia, a Sunday morning," 1869, with frame 160 x 83 cm. Signed P. Joris, Pio Joris attended the Istituto di Belle Arti in Rome and in 1861 he enrolled at the Accademia di San Luca, where he remained for just a year. On a visit to the 1st Esposizione Nazionale di Belle Arti of Florence in 1861 he was attracted by the naturalistic works from the Naples school. He came into contact with Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi during a trip to Capri, Sorrento and Naples in 1866.
