The artwork “Two Women on the Balcony,” created by Gerda Wegener in 1936, belongs to the Art Deco movement and is classified as a genre painting.
In the artwork, two elegantly dressed women are depicted reclining on a balcony. One woman, with blonde hair, is lying back against a cushion, adorned in a flowing, patterned dress with vibrant colors including red, black, and pink. Her eyes are closed, and she appears to be in a state of relaxation. The other woman, with black hair styled elegantly, sits next to her, holding a cigarette from which smoke delicately rises into the air. She is dressed in a soft, light blue and white attire, exuding an air of sophistication. Surrounding them is an ambiance of calmness and serenity, as fluffy clouds and a floral potted plant in the background contribute to a serene setting. The overall composition is characterized by its distinctive Art Deco style, featuring bold lines, rich ornamentation, and a strong sense of luxury and leisure.
