"Un moment de Repos. 5"
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
"Un moment de Repos. 5" is a work by Numa, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print, titled "Un moment de Repos. 5", presents a serene scene of a man and woman seated together. The man, positioned on the left, is attired in a white shirt and dark pants, while the woman, on the right, wears a white dress and a hat adorned with flowers. A mirror hangs on the wall behind them, and a table with a vase and other objects is situated to their left. The image exudes a sense of tranquility, with the couple appearing relaxed in each other's company. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the scene. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up Numa.
A lithograph titled "Un moment de Repos. 5" depicts a room setting with a man and woman in dishevelled dress seated on a chaise longue. The woman has her arms raised above her head while the man offers her a cigar. The print is mounted and titled on the backing sheet, and was produced by Bettanier frères after Numa. It was acquired by the museum as part of the Cyril Beaumont Bequest.

Numa made prints that look like quick, quiet sketches—think a figure pausing mid-step or a shadow catching light at the right moment.
