A la Plage 1920

"A la Plage" (1920) by Mily Possoz is a captivating portrayal of a woman lost in thought while reading a book. The image features a young woman, dressed in a blue and white checkered dress and a large hat, with a serene expression. Her delicate hands gracefully hold a book with a red cover, while a background scene depicting figures on a beach unfolds. The artwork’s use of soft pastel hues and flowing lines creates a sense of tranquility and introspection, characteristic of the Art Deco period, the style of the work. The title, "A la Plage," which translates to "To the beach," further enhances the sense of leisure and escapism, hinting at the idyllic nature of the depicted scene.
