Springtime 1938

"Springtime" is a 1938 painting by Danish artist Gerda Wegener, known for her evocative depictions of femininity and beauty. The piece showcases a nude woman adorned with a floral crown, with a winged cherub beside her. The soft, pastel palette and ethereal atmosphere evoke a sense of grace and sensuality. The delicate butterfly perched on the woman's hand symbolizes the fleeting nature of beauty and the arrival of spring. Wegener's work was often associated with Art Deco and Symbolism, and "Springtime" exemplifies these styles through its elegant lines, decorative elements, and allegorical imagery.
