La Parisienne (5) 1902

"La Parisienne (5)" is an etching by Jacques Villon, created in 1902. The work depicts a woman in a stylish dress, seated in a chair, with a peacock design visible on the wall behind her. Villon's use of simplified lines and subtle shading, characteristic of his early style, creates a sense of both elegance and abstraction. The artwork's title and subject matter allude to the fashionable women of Parisian society, a popular theme in early 20th century art.
