"Pastel Drawing"
pastel drawing. A young woman in a garden. We surprise her by three quarters, she is installed in a comfortable wicker chair, a cigarette in her hand, a letter dragging at her feet. We guess that she looks at this crossed foot, that it balances it. The artist invites us to ask questions about this woman, presenting her back, sitting, and by the movement of this foot he gives life to her. The line is lively, fast, efficient. Bright and soft colors at a time. It is framed by a mahogany wand
