Jeanne Balzac is a 1923 unspecified by Eugene Speicher, a American Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting still in a dark room. She wears a dark brown dress with puffy sleeves and a high collar. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small fan in one hand. A single white flower is pinned to her shoulder. The background is mostly black, making her face and dress stand out. The brushstrokes on her dress look soft and blended, while her skin is smooth. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
Eugene (Edward) Speicher NA was an American portrait, landscape, and figurative painter. He was one of the foremost realists of his generation who closely upheld the mantle of his mentor, Robert Henri.
