Jean Joseph Weerts
Portrait of a young woman - dream on ephemeral beauty

About the Item

Jean Joseph WEERTS Roubaix, 1846 - Paris, 1927 Portrait of a young woman - dream on ephemeral beauty Painting, oil on wood Signed Painting: 24 x 33 cm Beautiful original frame: 41 x 49 cm (beautiful gilding) Circa 1870-80 Very good condition Weerts made numerous paintings representing women dreaming. Our painting is one of the latter presenting a beautiful young woman holding a Chinese vase containing a bouquet of flowers (nasturtiums, sunflowers, poppies...). This is an allegory of ephemeral beauty: flowers, beautiful in one moment, fade quickly. An allegory in the image of the human being?
