About the Item
Impressionist School, second half of the 19th century
Portrait of Two Young Girls
Oil on panel,
28 x 22 cm
Provenance:
Private collection, Paris
This delicate portrait, executed with the sensitivity characteristic of the Impressionist school, depicts two young girls in a tender and intimate pose. Although the artist remains unidentified, the work demonstrates remarkable mastery of technique and a keen sense of observation, qualities reminiscent of Mary Cassatt, a central figure of the Impressionist movement, particularly renowned for her portraits of children and women.
Painted on a panel, the artwork is distinguished by the fluidity and lightness of its brushstrokes. The girls' faces are illuminated with a gentle and natural warmth, creating an atmosphere of tranquility. The pinkish hues of their clothing and their skin tones subtly contrast with the olive-green background, a choice that enhances the softness of their expressions and grounds the scene in summery light.
In the context of the second half of the 19th century, this work aligns with a period when intimate and everyday life subjects took center stage in art. Similar to Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, whose influence is palpable here, the artist delicately captures the innocence and purity of childhood while exploring the interplay of light and texture, hallmarks of Impressionism.
Although anonymous, this painting reflects profound humanity and a very personal touch, revealing the hand of a sensitive and skillful artist. The spontaneity of the brushwork and the sparkle in the girls' eyes echo the art of capturing fleeting moments—an essential leitmotif of this artistic era. A painting of touching simplicity, yet undeniable aesthetic richness.
