Germaine at her Toilette, Jean-François Rafaëlli, 1886, Art Institute of Chicago: Prints
Germaine at her Toilette, Jean-François Rafaëlli, 1886, Art Institute of Chicago: Prints and DrawingsThis pastel portrait of Jean-François Raffaëlli’s eight-year- old daughter Germaine captures her youthful awkwardness as she prepares to wash. She stands still in rumpled stockings and a wrinkled petticoat, distracted for a moment before beginning her routine. Her plain attire and blank expression contrast with the elegance of her surroundings, which include a finely decorated china toilette set and a gauzy, lace-edged red cloth. Bequest of Janis H. PalmerSize: 1,083 × 597 mm (sight)Medium: Pastel on canvashttps://www.artic.edu/artworks/104929/ -- source link
