The Blue Plume 1914

"The Blue Plume" (1914) by Marie Laurencin is a portrait of a woman in a blue hat with a blue plume. Laurencin was known for her portraits of women with elongated features, a style she developed in the early 20th century during the Art Deco era. This work reflects the artist's signature use of soft colors and delicate lines, creating a sense of elegance and refinement. The delicate features of the subject and her relaxed pose contribute to the work's overall air of femininity and grace. This painting captures the beauty of the female form while adhering to the stylistic characteristics of the early 20th-century artistic movement.
