The artwork, titled “Jolie Madame,” was created by Audrey Flack in 1973 and is part of the Photorealism movement. This still life composition exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Photorealism.
The artwork presents a richly detailed assemblage of objects, creating an opulent tableau. At the center, a dazzling array of jewelry, including elaborate necklaces and rings, is artfully arranged. A prominent bottle, intricately adorned, and a finely decorated porcelain pitcher contribute to the sense of luxury. The composition is further enhanced by the inclusion of a delicate glass, a classical figurine, and a single red rose. The reflection of light on the various surfaces, combined with the vibrant, warm background hues, adds depth and realism, making the objects appear almost tangible. The meticulous rendering of textures and surfaces underscores the artist’s skill and dedication to realism, inviting the viewer to appreciate both the beauty and the craftsmanship of the depicted items.
