Woman in Pink at the Beach 1902 - 1904

"Woman in Pink at the Beach" is a watercolor painting by Jacques Villon, created between 1902 and 1904. The painting depicts a woman seated on a beach, partially obscured by a blue umbrella. The woman is wearing a pink dress and a black bow, creating a striking contrast against the light blue and pink tones of the background. This intimate and subtly stylized portrayal of a woman on a beach is a characteristic example of Villon's early work, which often explored themes of leisure and the human form. Villon, born in 1875 and known for his contributions to Cubism and other modern art movements, infused this artwork with a distinctive artistic flair, showcasing his evolving style in the early 20th century.
