Portrait of a Woman, c. 1889-1899. Creator: Jean-Baptiste-Antoine-Emile Beranger (French
Portrait of a Woman, c. 1889-1899. Beranger is known as an academic painter of genre subjects. This pastel study of a young woman with downcast eyes conveys a sense of vitality and immediacy lacking in his more highly finished works in oil. While the graceful features of her face are articulated with tender detail, the flowers adorning her hair are summarily indicated with a handful of rapid strokes, and her bodice is barely suggested

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite work of Jean-Baptiste-Antoine-Emile Beranger, a renowned French academic painter. Titled "Portrait of a Woman" this piece was created between 1889 and 1899, capturing the essence of the era. Beranger's expertise in genre subjects is evident as he skillfully portrays a young woman with her eyes cast downward. What sets this pastel study apart from his other oil paintings is its remarkable vitality and immediacy. While Beranger typically focused on highly finished works, here he conveys an immediate sense of life through loose strokes and delicate details. The graceful features of the woman's face are meticulously articulated with tenderness, emphasizing her beauty. Notably, Beranger's artistic genius shines through in his treatment of the flowers adorning her hair. With just a few swift brushstrokes, he captures their essence without delving into intricate detailing. Similarly, her bodice is only suggested rather than fully rendered, adding to the overall allure and mystery surrounding this portrait.

It serves as a testament to his ability to capture both physical likeness and emotional depth within his subjects.
