Woman in a Striped Dress 1899

"Woman in a Striped Dress," a 1899 color lithograph by Ker Xavier Roussel, depicts a woman in a striped dress standing in a grassy field, facing away from the viewer. The composition is reminiscent of Impressionism, with a focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The landscape features a river with a few trees in the background, creating a sense of depth and serenity. The work, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases Roussel's mastery of color and detail. The artist's signature style, characterized by his use of soft colors and delicate lines, is evident in this print. The image is notable for its peaceful and contemplative mood, a hallmark of Roussel's artistry.
