About the piece
Painted around 1900, Jean-Louis Forain’s 'Departure, Gust of Wind' exemplifies his mastery of capturing dynamic, everyday moments. The work features a central female figure elegantly battling a gust of wind to keep her hat in place, rendered with the quick, gestural brushstrokes and muted, sophisticated palette that define Forain’s late style.
