French Woman

In French Woman by Delphin Enjolras, the painting captures a private and delicate moment of feminine elegance. The subject, a red-haired woman, is depicted seated with her back to the viewer, her skin softly illuminated by the muted glow of the room. She holds a small hand mirror, gazing into it with a graceful and reflective pose, while her other hand rests on the edge of a vanity adorned with flowers and delicate objects.

The muted blue and gray tones of the background, combined with the soft lavender drapery cascading over the chair, create a harmonious and tranquil setting that accentuates the warmth of the subject’s skin and the rich tones of her hair. The furnishings, including the ornate chair and vanity, add an air of refinement and intimacy to the scene.
