The artwork titled “Mademoiselle Lanthelme” is a portrait painted by the artist Giovanni Boldini in 1907. This oil on canvas painting belongs to the Impressionism art movement and is housed at the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (GNAM) in Rome, Italy.
In the artwork, the subject, assumedly Mademoiselle Lanthelme, is depicted standing gracefully in an elegant attire. She is adorned in a flowing, dark gown with voluminous sleeves, complemented by a strikingly large hat embellished with intricate details. The expression on her face is poised and confident, reflecting a subtle elegance. Boldini’s brushwork is vigorous and fluid, capturing the texture and movement of the fabric as well as the subject’s enigmatic presence. The background is rendered in deep, rich tones, which contrasts and enhances the luminous quality of the subject’s attire, especially the stark white details of her sleeves and neckline. The overall composition exudes a sense of refined sophistication, characteristic of Boldini’s portraiture style within the Impressionist movement.
