books0977: A Moment’s Distraction (1916). Vlaho Bukovac (Croatian,1855-1922). Oil on canvas. This piece is executed using a feather light touch – the brushstrokes are very soft, particularly on the lady’s face and hair, which seamlessly blend into the background. The limited palette like this (the piece is practically monochromatic) is perfectly suited for intimate scenes. This lady is most probably the artist’s wife as she does resemble her. -- source link
