Twee portretten van vrouwen en een reproductie van een getekend portret van een man en een vrouw op een bank in een park 1900 - 1930

This little ensemble of portraits was probably made for fun, maybe even as a hobby. They are a collection of small paintings or drawings, each capturing a fleeting moment or a posed portrait. I can imagine the artist carefully arranging the composition, trying to create a sense of depth and harmony. The colours are soft and muted, which gives the works a dreamlike quality. Look at how the artist paid attention to the details of the clothes or the delicate features of the faces. There's a sweetness to the image, a tenderness in the way the subjects are rendered. It reminds me a bit of Marie Laurencin’s portraits, with their gentle lines and understated elegance. Whether the artist was a seasoned professional or an amateur enthusiast, they tapped into that universal impulse to capture and preserve the beauty they found in the world around them. This reminds us that art-making is something anyone can do. We are all artists, in our own way!
