It is shown, with a different coloration, click-to-humongous image, and described (mentions lot 5), by its auction-result page.The same model posed for the artist at least three times. In addition to this and the 1877 painting, shown by clicking the fig. 1 inset in the auction-result page, and found here (Google translated), she posed for this, found here, in 1875. The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page may have more) and collection (more under Subcategories).Third, of the 4 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (3 total).
I don’t know why, but for some reason this painting made me feel as though I wanted to be that woman, right there, right then. Probably because I’m sitting in a sterile cubicle staring at two computer monitors.
