La Parisienne (4) 1902

"La Parisienne (4)" is a 1902 lithograph by Jacques Villon, a French artist known for his innovative approach to Cubism. The work depicts a woman seated in an ornate armchair, her figure partially obscured by the large hat she wears. The composition is characterized by its flatness and geometric forms, with the woman's body, the chair, and the surrounding furniture reduced to simplified shapes. Villon's use of color is also notable, with muted tones of pink, yellow, and brown creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. "La Parisienne (4)" is an exemplary example of Villon's early style, which blended elements of Impressionism with the emerging principles of Cubism.
