L.E. Garrido, La Varenne 1890
This painting depicts a young woman of great grace, immersed in an intimate, reflective posture. She is seated in a red velvet armchair with luxurious accents, her figure delicately set off by a white dress, typical of the elegant fashion of the 19ᵉ century. Her ochre yellow gloved hands, contrasting subtly with the softness of her outfit, hold a small note which she contemplates with an expression imbued with mystery and reverie.Read more
A fur boa, a symbol of sophistication, encircles her neck, adding a touch of warmth and refinement to the ensemble. Her head slightly bent towards her hands suggests a moment of reflection or secret emotion, while the oval composition of the painting reinforces the intimacy of this scene.
With a mastery of detail and a subtle play of light, Eduardo Leon Garrido captures not only the elegance of this female figure, but also the hushed, romantic atmosphere of the last century. This painting embodies both the grace and the evanescence of suspended moments.
