Georges Darel
Portrait of a little girl

1935

About the Item

Work on wood This captivating portrait depicts a melancholy young face, executed with a remarkable mastery of shades of gray and brown. The artist uses a deft brush to capture the subject's soul, revealed through penetrating eyes and a pensive air. The dark background amplifies the emotional intensity, focusing our gaze on the figure's delicate, serene features. The subtle juxtaposition of light and shadow lends a striking depth, while the touches of red in the clothing add a certain warmth to the work. This delicate interplay between sobriety and emotion makes this painting a unique piece, where each brushstroke seems to tell a silent story. The artist succeeds in evoking a silent introspection that engages and challenges the viewer.
