From the collection of Fitzwilliam Museum
Studio Interior is a 1890 oil by Edme-Adolphe Fontaine, depicting Studio, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a studio interior with a woman sitting on a chair, facing left. She is wearing a white dress and has her hair tied up. In front of her, another woman is painting on an easel, dressed in a long white robe with a black collar. The room is filled with various objects, including paintings on the wall, a mannequin, and a dog lying on the floor. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the studio. The woman in the white dress appears to be the subject of the painting, while the artist at work adds a sense of movement and activity to the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who use chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
Edme-Adolphe Fontaine (1814–1883) was an artist, born in Noisy-le-Grand.
