Coquetterie (femme au miroir), c.1900
Stylishness (woman with mirror)
Inventory # 50332

Original pastel on paper. In excellent condition, framed with museum quality conservation materials. Size: 19 3/4" x 25 1/2" Along with being an accomplished draftsman and colorist, Legrand was also one of the most successful printmakers of his period in Paris. He made his reputation with his appealing themes of young ballet dancers, and with the witty but slightly cruel observations made in his cafe scenes. However, like other artists of his style and generation there were other sides to his art, less well known but very highly accomplished. His quiet intimiste studies of his family are just such an aspect, they also have a stylization which gives them an added appeal.
