Product description
Pastel on paper “Dance”, after Leopold François Kowalski, early 20th century
An exceptional pastel depicting a group of women dancing in a springtime landscape, romantic and somewhat ethereal. The delicate figures, the soft and luminous tones, and the warm, even golden, atmosphere that envelops the scene are particularly striking. The women hold hands, forming a serpentine chain that captures a specific moment within the dynamic scene. Except for the central figure in the foreground, who turns to look at the viewer, all the others seem absorbed in their own thoughts and in the dance.
It closely follows the style of the works of Leopold François Kowalski (1856-1931), a Polish-born painter known for his focus on Impressionism and Romantic themes, particularly those dealing with movement and the human figure. Kowalski was especially skilled at depicting dance scenes and female figures. His landscapes of the Norman and Breton countryside often reveal a strong Post-Impressionist influence, with their shifting light and reflections, and he was primarily known for his extraordinary domestic scenes set against magnificent landscapes. Much of his work focuses on Victorian nymphs dancing among fields of flowers, an incredibly popular theme in the late 19th century.
