Reverie. Elisabeth Sonrel (French, 1874-1953). Gouache and pastel on paper.A substantial work on paper, Reverie is executed in gouache with colours that are still rich. Sonrel places a female figure in thought with an open book. Her costume hints at a medieval setting and an almost religious subject. In her skillful creation of this archaic dream-world, she can be seen as a follower of both the French Symbolists and the English late Pre-Raphaelites. -- source link
