About this work

This painting shows a woman in a yellow top and blue skirt, sitting on the floor with her back to a column. She is holding a tool in her right hand, pointing it at a bust of a man with long, curly hair. The woman's left hand rests on her lap, and she wears sandals on her feet. The bust sits on a pedestal, surrounded by other sculptures on the floor. A green curtain hangs in the background, and the overall atmosphere suggests a studio or workshop setting. This painting might remind you of the artist Baudouin Yvart.
