Artwork description

This watercolour and gouache on paper, painted in 1890 by Georges Clairin, is a work of great delicacy, in which the artist displays all his talent in capturing fleeting moments and feminine elegance. The fan-shaped format, subtle and refined, gives the composition a fluidity and lightness that reinforce the bucolic atmosphere of the scene.Read more

Three young women stand on the bank of a calm stream, their graceful figures draped in delicate fabrics blending harmoniously into the natural setting. Clairin skilfully plays with the transparency of the watercolour and the liveliness of the gouache strokes to reproduce the nuances of light, as well as the subtle details of the faces and fabrics.

The work is signed, dated and dedicated ‘À Madame Loison. Hommage respectueux Clairin 1890’, a handwritten note discreetly inscribed at the bottom left, revealing the artist's personal intention and the importance of this piece as a respectful and friendly offering.
