Girl with a Fan by Emil Bernard

Girl with a Fan by Emil Bernard

Oriental style of this canvas is guessed in everything and above all in the model itself. If on the canvas Bernard “Nude with a bracelet” the main character has a European appearance, then here we have the eastern beauty. Her black wide eyebrows crescent, dark hair and olive skin harmoniously combined with an abundance of gold jewelry.

A small pedestal, which serves as a support for the girl, is covered with a silver-blue drapery with Arabic script. In the lower left corner of the picture are depicted casually discarded oriental home shoes with an open nose, also painted with gold.
