More about this artwork
Jules Pascin's "Jeune fille étendue" is a stirring piece that captures the essence of relaxed introspection and gentle repose. Created between 1923 and 1926, this work of art portrays a young girl lying down, her body draped casually over a muted brown and beige surface that contrasts softly with the grayish-blue background. Her pose is both languid and expressive, suggesting a moment of serene thought or daydreaming.Pascin's use of mixed media enhances the texture and depth of the painting, blending sketch-like lines with richer, painted areas to highlight the figure's delicate form and the folds of her dress. The young girl's gaze is directed upwards, lost in contemplation, which adds an air of mystery and intimacy to the scene. The artist's style, characterized by a loose, expressive technique, captures the vulnerability and the fleeting nature of youth."Jeune fille étendue" not only showcases Pascin's skill as a painter but also embodies the atmospheric quality characteristic of his work, making it a captivating image for viewers to engage with and interpret.
