The artwork, entitled “Nicole Boubant,” was created by the artist Wols in the year 1933. This piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement and fits within the figurative genre.
In the artwork, a woman with strikingly blonde, curled hair appears in a state of serene contemplation, her eyes gently closed. The backdrop presents an intricate, almost whimsical design, featuring delicate motifs akin to butterflies and abstract, swirling patterns, enhancing the ethereal quality of the piece. The composition, marked by a meticulous attention to detail, captures a poetic moment, blending the figure’s silent presence with the dreamlike environment, characteristic of Surrealism’s aspiration to merge reality with the realms of imagination and mysticism.
