"Beautiful Oriental Odalisque Young Woman With Jewelry Watercolor Drawing"
In watercolour, lines of blue pencil, black stone and heightened white gouache, beautiful Oriental with a sulky pout, generous curves, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders. She wears dangling earrings in the shape of rings, an important necklace made up of pellets ending between the breasts in a large plate. Some pellets take the shape of the crescent of Islam. Signed lower right "C Way". Perhaps, but without certainty, the British painter Charles Jones Way, born in 1835 and died in 1919. A work of great quality, a perfectly mastered execution, worthy of the greatest artists! Dimensions: 30 cm x 23.2 cm Good condition. The colors remained fresh and present. Some foxing. Tiny lack at the lower left corner without consequence. Many other objects to discover in my stand at the antique fairs in which I participate.
