Charles levy & co [paris porcelain] (charenton-le-pont, paris, france) - ca 1876 - 1881, last quarter of the 19th century. Depicts a romantic image in a three-quarter spread with an asymmetrical wreath of daisies and a picturesque braid on the shoulder. The gaze of gentle modesty is downcast and directed towards the flower, on a wide (risky wide) neckline. The intrigue, between girlish rural modesty and potential flirtation, is spilled everywhere and is read in asymmetry: uneven shoulders, bow and balancing braids, classic ribbon and impressionistic liberty of a wreath, frontal order, and profile artistic hairstyle disorder. But the main subject of the work is the question - who will get this flower on an almost untied dress? the idyll of rural life requires resolution in the erotic foreboding so skillfully noted by the impressionist sculptor. Height: 47.5 cm. See less
