Portrait of a Lady
by GASCAR, Henri, Oil on canvas, 96 x 130 cm (in a painted oval)
In this painting the artist portrays an unidentified lady, seated three-quarter-length, in a white and gold gown with a blue robe, a garden beyond. The sitter’s relaxed pose within a feigned oval, reclining on one arm and gazing dreamily at the viewer, and informal and revealing gown, give the portrait a marked intimacy.
