Portraits of young girls
Original drawing, ink on paper signed, 34.5 x 25.5 cm on sight. Six female faces surround a young woman in costume. Léonor Fini's world is made of sensuality and role-playing where costume plays a large part. The artist herself was known for participating in costume parties. The great costume balls of the years 1946-1953, where her appearances "as a royal owl, a gray feline or a queen of hell" are spectacular, made her a media personality, earning her, among other things, in December 1948, the cover of the American magazine This Week photographed wearing an owl mask
