Symbolist Young Woman With Thistle Eggshell Marquetry Signed Deraison Rt649

SYMBOLIST PORTRAIT

Astonishing portrait in profile of a young woman with thistle painted on a wooden panel in a mixed technique of eggshell marquetry on a brown background speckled with gilding.

Medieval style, she holds a thistle symbol of austerity in her hand, the thistle symbolizes the passion of Christ and the Virgin Mary, but it is also the emblem of the French city of Nancy and more broadly, of all of Lorraine, symbolizing the motto of the Dukes of Lorraine "who rubs it, stings it".
