Impressionist portrait of a young woman

(1848 Ivry-sur-Seine – 1901 Bois-de-Roi) Summer in the Garden, painted with broad, dynamic brushstrokes and contrasting colors, is an Impressionist depiction of a young woman with a fan, sitting in a relaxed pose on a folding chair in a blooming summer garden. This work by Moreau de Tours is stylistically and thematically characteristic, as he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel (1823–1889) from 1865 and regularly exhibited at the Salon from 1875. Oil on canvas; signed and inscribed; estate stamp and number 365 on the reverse. 40.5 cm x 32 cm. In a frame.
