Femme aux régates 1920

Henri Lebasque’s 1920 watercolor painting, *Femme aux régates*, depicts a group of women gathered along a seaside promenade, likely in France, observing a regatta. The women are dressed in fashionable attire, emphasizing the leisure class and the popular pastime of yachting during the early 20th century. Lebasque's Impressionist style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and the depiction of light and shadow, capturing the fleeting moments of this outdoor scene. The composition is balanced, and the subtle colors create a sense of tranquility and ease. The artwork conveys a sense of social interaction and enjoyment of the outdoors.
