Description
IN THE STYLE OF KEES VAN DONGEN Portraits of young women Double-sided sketches, in oil on cardboard, depicting young women in a stylised, graphic and sensual manner reminiscent of the world of Kees van Dongen (1877–1968), a Fauvist portraitist who settled in Monaco in 1959, where he lived until his death. The first depicts a young woman with a pale complexion wearing a black bow tie, her eyes ringed and elongated, against a plain brown background. The second, drawn in oil pastel and highlighted with colour, depicts a young woman with a languid gaze, wearing a wide blue cloche hat, rendered in the lively, concise style typical of female figures from the Roaring Twenties. Tears and a missing corner. Dimensions: 33.5 x 24 cm Provenance: Private collection of Jean Eugène Guillaud, Monaco
