A Chilly Morning in Luxembourg 1921

"A Chilly Morning in Luxembourg" is an oil painting by Swiss artist Alice Bailly, created in 1921. The painting depicts a stylish woman in a fur coat, with her face partially obscured by a wide-brimmed hat, a common motif in Bailly’s oeuvre. The painting’s simplified forms and flattened perspective reflect Bailly’s artistic style, a blend of Cubism and Expressionism, which she developed during her time in Paris. The painting captures a moment of quiet introspection, inviting viewers to contemplate the woman’s thoughts and feelings as she navigates the urban landscape. Currently on display at the Kunstmuseum Winterthur, the painting offers a glimpse into the fashionable society of early 20th century Europe.
