More about this artwork
The painting "Robe De Linon" by Charles Martin showcases an elegant illustration depicting early 20th-century Parisian fashion. Created in 1913 as part of a series titled "Costumes Parisiens," this artwork features a fashionable woman in a stylized setting.The woman wears a vertical striped dress made of linen ("Robe de linon rayé") with pink linen trim ("bordée de linon rose"), intricately detailed for a simple yet sophisticated look. Her dress has a flattering silhouette, marked by a high waistline cinched with a purple belt embellished with a circular motif. The pink shawl draped over her shoulders complements the pink detailing at the hem of her dress.She wears a wide-brimmed hat adorned with what appear to be cherries, adding a playful element to her overall attire. Her facial expression, with wide eyes and a slight tilt of her head, suggests a moment of surprise or engagement, adding a dynamic quality to the scene.The woman holds a bird cage containing a small bird in one hand and another bird perched on her extended other hand, which could symbolize freedom or delicateness, themes often explored in the art and literature of that period.The background features minimalistic architectural elements that resemble garden topiaries and a segment of a classical building, situating her in a presumably affluent outdoor setting.
