Pair of pastels of oval shape, representing two portraits of young elegant women, in evening dress.

The blond, the eye a little mutinous, in profile, the short and curly hair frizzy, retained by a headband of daisies, in the forehead. The black lace dress, fine, highlights a delicate neckline, and a gold necklace.

The Revolution will make fall this technique in disuse, vis-a-vis painting with oil.
It finds the golds, thanks to the Impressionists, to Edgar Degas, and Toulouse Lautrec, thanks also to the Nabis, such Edouard Vuillard. And finally, apogee at the end of the nineteenth century, with the symbolist movement, which perfectly illustrate Levy Dhurmer or Odilon Redon.
