Young Woman in a River

Last quarter of the XIX century.
Not on display

With the advent of photography, the technique of miniature painting was progressively abandoned. One noteworthy attempt to arrest this process was that of a group of French women artists, who tried to restore splendour to the art by placing the accent on one of the resources it offered, that of erotic intimacy with a somewhat anachronistic flavour, now wrought by feminine hands and endowed with a new decorative significance.
