Elégante à l'éventail (robe Poiret), 1921This watercolor by Jean-Gabriel Domergue perfectly embodies the refined, glamorous style of this artist, famous for his portraits of elegant, sophisticated women, often referred to as “Parisiennes”. The color palette is both warm and elegant, dominated by red, black and white tones, which emphasize the dynamism of the scene while remaining harmonious.
The whole composition exudes a festive, sensual and refined atmosphere, typical of the world of Domergue, who liked to depict women as icons of beauty and elegance. Here, the elegant woman is wearing a dress by Paul Poiret, a famous French couturier.
