About the Item

Title: French Mid 20th Century Portrait of Woman in Alsatian Traditional Headdress by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977) Medium: Gouache on paper Size: 21.5 inches (height) x 18.25 inches (width) Condition: As is normal with unframed works on paper there are some minor old creases or paper edge curls/ tears - all of which should be covered over or smoothed out once framed; generally very good and sound. Provenance: as with all the works we have by this artist, it has come from the artists estate in France. Description: This striking mid-century portrait by French artist Anne Marie Migette Perard features a dignified older woman wearing the iconic Alsatian traditional costume, including the elaborate coiffe headdress. Painted in soft tones, the sitter’s calm expression and richly adorned attire highlight the region’s deep cultural heritage and time-honored customs. The large white bow-like headdress, a symbol of Alsace’s identity, is rendered with delicate highlights and lace detailing, adorned at the center with a light blue floral ornament. Her traditional embroidered dress and layered green shawl add vibrant depth and texture to the composition, while the lavender background brings a sense of stillness and grace. The coiffe alsacienne is a historical piece of headwear often worn by women in eastern France, especially in Strasbourg and surrounding areas, symbolizing both regional pride and generational continuity. This portrait not only serves as a record of French tradition but also showcases Perard’s keen sensitivity to character, fashion, and regional storytelling through her art. This work is ideal for collectors of regional European portraiture, ethnographic costume studies, and watercolor techniques capturing cultural expression.
