About the piece

Created around 1900 by Louis Legrand, this masterful pastel work epitomizes the chic atmosphere of Belle Époque Paris. The composition is defined by the striking color contrast between the subject's brilliant blue fan and her fiery orange attire, rendered with the expressive, confident strokes characteristic of the artist's celebrated drawing style.
